I'm NOT trying to start anything, what the heck are dewclaws for? Do they serve any useful purpose or are they some kind of like appendix? Did wolves use them for pulling down game, and are they attached to muscles or do they just hang there? If I had dewclaws I'd gnaw them off myself and I'm sure I wouldn't miss them. Why did the person who docked Frisco's tail not remove his dewclaws? Brief is good, I don't mean to change the subject.
