I have to disagree with this.  Humans have the same condition.  The rib is 
attached to the sternum however it is not attached by cartlidge, only tendon. 
Therefore, it is loose and not secure as with the upper ribs.  This is the rib 
that models have removed to make them look skinnier.  It is not a condition 
that will cause a problem to humans or dogs.
