Obviously there is heart lung area caudal to the front leg.
But not much.
They got 13 ribs……the diaphragm lies roughly between # 6 and #7. The lower ( more ventral) you go the less lung tissue lies behind ( caudal) to the front leg.
If you use the size of a paper plate for error of you point of impact. And your point of impact is caudal to the scapular humoral junction.
It is my belief some of that paper plate would lie caudal to the thoracic cavity.
