When you think of the word "dog", what type of dog do you picture in your mind? how do you know that a type of dog is a dog and not a bird? why did you picture that particular type of dog?

When I think "dog" I think of a Husky, for some reason the physical features of a Husky remind me of a dog because they are so sharp and well built. The dog is certainly not a bird due to the fact that, it does not have wings, feathers, a beak, and it can't fly.

When I think of the word dog I think of a german shepherd. I know that it's a dog because it barks, instead of chirps like a bird would do, it has a huge tongue, big ears and 4 legs. I picture a german shepherd because I have one, and also because it's one of the most popular dogs. I hope this helps! (:
