Best Answer

Dogs have seven bones in their front paws and six bones in their rear paws. A dog's wrist bone is called a carpus. The bone below the carpus is called a metacarpus and each toe is called a phalange. Dogs have five phalanges in their front paws but only four phalanges in their rear paws. Dew claws are not considered phalanges.
