Help! How do I get gum off a dogs paws/pads?

Just had a pup dropped off. Took her for a walk and she must have stepped in gum. I got the bulk of it out. But there is some still stuck in there and she has been licking at it like crazy and it seems to be bothering her. She is here for the day and I want to get this off her pads before she gets picked up by her owners. Any ideas??

One vet's office suggested Dawn blue soap. I'd suggest look for pinkness & see how much the paw pad is irritated or if burnt from the hot gum. If so, it's best to let pet parents know. That accident is easily explainable and the dog may need medicated soak to heal.
