>  As John indicates, the actual head of these constructions is simply 'dog'.

I always liked the way Crow handled such "new things" - I don't remember the
actual Crow, since this comes from a class Randy taught 5 or 6 years ago, but
the gist is that many new things, including horses, simply co-opted a name
that already existed in Crow.

So horses are "dogs" and actual canine type dogs are "real dogs". I'm sure
there are other introduced items that follow the same pattern as well, but I
can't dredge them up from memory at the moment.
