Extrinsic Muscles of the thoracic limb
Extrinsic muscles have one attachment on the limb and one attachment on the trunk or neck/head.

move the limb relative to the body, but if the limb is anchored by body weight, the body is moved relative to the limb.

(In contrast, intrinsic muscles are attached totally to limb bones and thus they move only joints of the limb.)
