In addition, the phalanges and sesamoid bones of the dog hind paw are so similar to those of the forepaw. The first digits are usually absent in dogs. But, sometimes, you may find the first digit in some breed. This first digit of the hind paw is known as the dewclaw. Tarsal bones of a dog The dog's visual system has evolved to aid proficient hunting. [24] While a dog's visual acuity is poor (that of a poodle's has been estimated to translate to a Snellen rating of 20/75 [24]), their visual discrimination for moving objects is very high. Dogs have been shown to be able to discriminate between humans (e.g. identifying their human guardian) at a range of between 800 and 900 metres (2,600 and 3,000ft); however, this range decreases to 500–600 metres (1,600–2,000ft) if the object is stationary. [24] Still on the subject of skeletons, let’s have a look at the tail. Dog Tail Anatomy The tail of a dog serves many functions such as non verbal communication and as a rudder in water. You will find two-part in the dog pubis bone – the body and two rami. The body of the dog pubis bone is flat triangular that helps form the acetabular cavity and obturator foramen.The lateral surface of the dog scapula divides into two halves by the spine. This spine of the dog scapula is the most prominent osteological feature. At the distal end of the dog, the scapular spine possesses a pointed structure (acromion process).

One study found that the relative reduction in dog skull length compared to its width (the Cephalic Index) was significantly correlated to both the position and the angle of the brain within the skull. This was regardless of the brain size or the body weight of the dog. [8] Wolf mandible diagram showing the names and positions of the teeth.

Those razor sharp teeth dig into your fingers. You’ll need to train your puppy to not bite. Another part of the dog’s head which can come in all shapes and sizes are their ears. Some are floppy, some are tall and pointy and some are just mud and water magnets… Spaniel owners will be nodding in agreement! Paw pads are crucial for cushioning of the bones, providing traction and abrasion resistance. If there is trauma or injury to any one of the pads, it can often result in loss of limb function.
