So really, "Egyptian jackal" doesn't conflict with "dog", it's just more specific-- like specifying "dalmatian" or "poodle". I only put dog because the video NBC released for Anubis calls him dog like and we've used the video or the Grimm Guide (which no longer exists) to classify them when available
