"A dog, is a dog, is a dog."

Of course you can easily cheat just by looking at the link addresses, but just for fun (anyone) how many and which of the following, if any, are NOT dogs (i.e. members of the Family Canidae, i.e. canids)? Each pic is linked to a larger image.

Didn't have any takers on this, but just to report back... Five of the seven are dogs, two aren't.

  1. NOT A DOG! It's a hyena.
  2. Doesn't really look like a dog, does it? But it is. It's Nyctereutes the Racoon Dog of Asia, a member of the Canid family.
  3. Atelocynus, the Small-Eared Dog (or "Zorro") of South America is also a dog, despite it's stocky build and weasel-like face.
  4. NOT A DOG! Ichneumia is a member of Herpestidae, that is a type of mongoose.
  5. DOG. Lycaon pictus, the African Wild Dog.
  6. DOG (believe it or not). Speothos is the very unusual Bush Dog of South America.
  7. DOG. Otocyon, the Bat-Eared Fox of Africa.
