That's because the anchors are a client side feature - they aren't passed to the server, so they aren't in your logs. If you make a request for /pets.asp#dogs, the browser has to load all of pets.asp, and then jump to #dogs, so it just asks the server for /pets.asp. If you then click on the link to /pets.asp#cats, your browser doesn't send anything to the server, it just jumps to that anchor in the page that it already has. (I just checked in Firefox and Internet Explorer. It's possible that some other browsers might include this information, but I wouldn't count on it).
