four legs
Chair's ground contact
Four legs describes animals that walk on four limbs—dogs, cats, horses, cows.
The phrase often distinguishes quadrupeds from humans or birds: Anything with four legs is welcome at this vet clinic.
In furniture, four legs provides stability: a table on four legs.
The phrase echoes Orwell's *Animal Farm*: Four legs good, two legs bad.
