They are used to help hold bones etc. while eating. Some dogs with larger dewclaws use them for better balance when running. Some dogs do not use them at all. It depends on the size of the dog and breed.

no it cant get a good grip
Dogs need their claws and I highly doubt you would ever find a vet to declaw them. This is only done in cats.
All breed dogs have five claws so, Golden Retrievers have a fifth claw called a DEWCLAW.
If your dog has a torn dew claw, it's important to take them to the vet for proper assessment and treatment. The vet may need to trim or remove the dew claw to prevent infection and promote healing. In some cases, they may prescribe pain medication or antibiotics to manage any discomfort or prevent infection.
A regular dog has 5 toes on the front paw.
Lions have five claws on each of their front paws, including a dewclaw, which is a small claw located higher on the leg. On their hind paws, they have four claws.
No, you should not trim a dog's toenail that is higher up on its paw. It is likely the dewclaw, which is a nail that does not touch the ground and may serve a purpose for the dog's balance and grip. It is best to leave the dewclaw alone unless it becomes overgrown and starts causing issues.
I'm pretty sure all dogs have a dewclaw on each front foot.
fallout.wikia.com Says, that there will be deatclaws
