My pit was limping around one day so checked his leg and I found thisi bet he wasn't happy when the removal process started.
The "dog" looks more like a porcupine to me...I think under those quills is a bull terrier, not a pit. You can see the bull/egg head through the quills, and the ears are straight up like a bull, not floppy like a pit.
Note ears
Thanks Keith! There is something about those egg head headed dogs I really like. Maybe it's a subconscious association to beer thanks to Spuds MacKenzie.Its a bull terrier

Are you sure you aren't thinking of the dew claw? It's an extra nail on the side of the dogs front legs a few inches above the foot. All dogs have them but they are usually removed when they are spayed or neutered. I have never heard of pits having any other special nail and I don't think they use the dew claws to cut other dogs, I mean they aren't Filipino knife fighters. If you can find a link to some info about the pits extra claw please let me know. It would be cool if they had the special nail but I don't think they do.My pit was limping around one day so checked his leg and I found this
object sticking out the side upper pad.. put him on his back and got a pair
of needle plyers and spent a good min to get it out and he didn't bat an
eye .. So why he was on his back I checked his other leg and he had the
same thing in that leg also IT WAS A TOE NAIL I YANK OUT. to find that
pitbulls have the extra nail they use like a knife that other breeds don't have ..
NO they don't feel pain like other dogs
