Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Pad cuts are often deep and require stitching as they don't heal well when left for granulation. Most of the dogs will make it bleed again once start putting full weight on the leg. Please, inspect the wound, and if there is deep wound or part of the pad was sliced, you should take Duke to your vets for a stitch up.
