Kayden holding a Dungeness crab—Dungeness crabs do pinch, and if they do, they will NOT let go; you do NOT want to get pinched. If they get a hold of you, you have to tear their leg off. They will draw blood, and crush your baby finger. Kayden is very brave! Photo courtesy of MistyTrails Havanese / Mastiff (our other interests).
