The 59 leg bones (per side -118 total) of a dog are:

Foreleg - 29

  • Humerus 1
  • Radius - 1
  • Ulna - 1
  • Carpals - 7
  • Metacarpals - 5
  • Phalanges -14

Hind Leg - 30
  • Femur - 1
  • Patella - 1
  • Fibula - 1
  • Tibia - 1
  • Tarsals - 7
  • Metatarsals - 5

The "dew claw" phalanges (equivalent to the big toe on humans) are vestigial on the hind feet and not obvious.
