Injury To Bottom Of Dog's Paw

I originally thought my Shih Tzu/Maltese could have hip dysplasia, but I looked at the bottom of her foot (paw) last night and saw that one of the black dots (I don't know what they are) is gone. She is limping on this paw. Can anyone tell me what this black thing is called and what I should do?

I agree on both counts.

One of her pads has been torn away. You need to get her to the vet for treatment and to avoid infection.
