Your dog has FRITO PAW !!
No. J/k.
Dogs actually have a lot of scent-glands in-between their paws. I guess dogs evolved that way. A dog that has a lot of odor in their feet must be easy to track down and mate with.
They're laying their scent on the ground when they scratch or wipe their paws in the grass, too.
I think they give off scents on their cheeks too, which is why sometimes they rub the side of their face in the grass.

This is probably a fungus that is on your dog. One of my dogs smelled like Frito's all over, so an acquaintance of mine suggested Tea Tree Oil for her. It worked. It is an antifungal and it really smells good. You just put a few drops in your regular dog shampoo and go from there.
I looked this up and here is what I found...
Animal care
Because pets also suffer many of the same diseases as humans, tea tree oil can also be used as treatment for such diseases as arthritis, fleas, bad breath, gum disease, abscesses, dermatitis, lice, parasites, ringworm, rashes and sprains. Dogs in particular are susceptible to mange, a hard-to-eliminate skin disorder causing hair loss and itching. Washing a dog or cat using a mild soap and water, then clipping or shaving excess hair before soaking a cotton puff with tea tree oil and saturating specific areas twice daily will help treat mange. For overall application, mixing 1 teaspoon tea tree oil with 1/3 cup of water and spraying the mixture from a plant mister onto the mangy areas is advised.
When using tea tree oil for animals, it should always be diluted, as full strength can cause such reactions as muscle tremors and poor coordination. The oil should be kept away from the eyes.
I hope this helps.
