yes they have arms and legsI often have this discussion with people and it always escalates to the funniest arguments but YES dogs and cats do have arms. From an anatomical standpoint, dogs have shoulders, they have elbows, they have a forearm (front section above their front paws) and they have a pastern which in humans is called a wrist! Last time I checked you do not have a wrist on your let so, yes, they do have arms, it is a misconception that they are four legged animals. Just take a look at their legs, they most assuredly have a thigh and a hock below the knee joint that is analogous to a human ankle. They may utilize their arms as legs because they transport themselves in this way but clearly the anatomy of their front appendages are more arm like than leg like. Plus the best argument for dogs having arms is that they wear sweaters that clearly have sleeves that belong on "arms."
