First off, I love your dog's name! It could be that Magic Mike injured himself outside, leading to the blood spots. I would gently wipe the blood away and clean the area with warm water and antiseptic soap. Keep an eye on the area, and if it keeps bleeding, or becomes red, swollen, warm to the touch, or has pus, then I would have Magic Mike seen by a vet.
