Of course dogs have [clitorises](http://www.petcaregt.com/dogcare/dogclitoris.html). From this site: The clitoris increases greatly during the mating cycle. In some bitches it becomes so huge that a male’s penis cannot push it out of the way. It may stick out of the vulva and show as a red knob. It may lead to a prolapse of the vagina, so that a red bunch as large as an average-sized tomato protrudes from the vulva. In a few instances clitorises can be as large as a small grapefruit. ---
