[Eva von Selah]

Interesting to read up on dewclaws. The front ones tend to be real toes and used.

Another Look at Dewclaws

Dew claws

The fronts are definitely real! I watch Eva dreaming and all five of her front toes on both feet clench and relax. Interesting to see the dew claw move, but it's got a tendon to it for sure and I think it's used for gripping, etc. when they are running and turning.
