Dewclaw
All breed dogs have five claws so, Golden Retrievers have a fifth claw called a DEWCLAW.

no it cant get a good grip
Theropods are lizard hipped, bipedal dinosaurs with three clawed toes that touched the ground (many had a fourth toe that didn't reach the ground called a dewclaw). Most of them, with the exclusion of birds, were meat eaters.
For an ingrown dewclaw, gently trim the surrounding fur and clean the area to prevent infection. If the claw is embedded in the skin, it may need to be carefully trimmed or removed by a veterinarian. Applying a topical antiseptic can help, but monitor for signs of infection, such as swelling or discharge. If the condition doesn't improve or worsens, consult your vet for professional treatment.
Dogs need their claws and I highly doubt you would ever find a vet to declaw them. This is only done in cats.
Yes, each paw typically has a middle claw called the dewclaw. It can be found higher up on the leg, away from the other main claw pads. Dewclaws can vary in size and are present on some animals like dogs and cats.
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.
The extra claw halfway up the back leg of some animals, particularly cats, is called a "dewclaw." Unlike the primary claws that are used for hunting and climbing, dewclaws are often thought to be vestigial and may not make contact with the ground during normal walking. In some breeds, dewclaws can be removed for various reasons, including to prevent injury.
Typically rabbits have a total of 18 toes. Each front paw has four primary toes, and a small one on the side of the foot called a dewclaw. Each rear paw has four toes.
A regular dog has 5 toes on the front paw.
