Yeah, apparently they have dogs with two legs, a beak and wings. It's not the first time Ardent has called a bird a dog. even though that was a 'weird dog'
My conclusion is that where Ardent comes from, they don't have birds.

I suggest that dogs are the only non-human living creatures Ardent has ever seen or heard of, and so dog is the only word in his vocabulary to describe them, the use of generic words like animal having died out.

Ardent is one of the major food groups of all lifeforms on this planet.

As a general rule, coming between an mother animal and its young is going to bring out the worst in it. Even cows kill about 20 people a year in the US, and many of those are cases where a mother felt her calves were threatened.
Animals that are chill about their offspring being carried off tend to go extinct pretty fast.

It may actually be more straightforward than this. I also tend to bite the heads off people that poke me while I'm trying to sleep. Perhaps the dog is more literal minded than most.
