“I’d think they’re fairly dexterous with their talons,” Goodall said. “I’ve heard that diamond dogs use them in such a manner, although I’ve not had the pleasure of observing them first-hoof. I’ve seen Spike grip lots of things with his, though, and they are bipedal . . . if they have a dominant talon, this would be in fairly easy reach. If you’re right about its purpose, that would make sense. Was there anything else on that side?”
