Yes, they do.
The point where the scapula (shoulder blade) bone rises above the spine -- directly behind the neck -- is called the "withers". This is horse-structure terminology.
The long, flat bone running along the ribcage at an angle to the chest is the scapula. You can feel it if you run your fingers over it.

Yes dogs have shoulders. All mammals don't have shoulders to whoever said that.

I'd say it might. Well, it looks like it. Naturally it will be different from the shoulders of humans.

Simple answer is YES. BUT NOT like or the same as human shoulders.

They sure do! In addition, they have 4 on the floor.
Withers are located at the top of the shoulders, just behind the neck.
