I know that skin so soft by Avon gets tar off a car, I don;t see it being harmful to a dog.

Tar
Do not use petroleum solvents, which are extremely harmful, to remove the tar from your pet's skin. Instead, trim away excess coat containing tar where possible.
Soak remaining tarry parts in vegetable oil overnight and then give your dog a complete bath

The vet may have something to remove it. Don't let your dog chew at his paws with the tar on it, you do not want him to ingest the tar (my grandmothers dog died from ingesting tar that he chewed off of his feet). I'd give the vet a call if I were you.

My dog just walked tar off of his paws. walk your dog on concrete. The tar will eventually go away.
