It cut through the brown part of his paw to where you can see pink it did bleed quite a bit should i take him to the vet or what should I do, they don't open until monday. He is an outside dog and I'm afraid of him getting an infection. Should i keep him inside or is it okay to leave him outside. He's half husky half labrador.

I would take Mack into a vet now. Even though the vet is closed, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. It looks like from the website that the Cumback Veterinary Services does after hour calls, which is located in Washington, Indiana where you live. I would call the clinic at 812-254-5769 to have Mack seen now. The cut may need sutures to close. I would not leave him outside, as dirt and debris can easily get into the cut.
