Your Log Dogs have been modified with an optional length of chain added to it for some other purpose.
Maybe to stabilize the far ends of the logs wile lifting one end at a time to build a log cabin or a bridge or something similar.

Listen young man. Don't get too big for your britches. I know you've been around for 30 years now but in the southwest we have saltillo tile and like big groutlines.
