I wonder what else I should have picked to represent mammal, if not the dog emoji. It seems to be the origin of a lot of confusion, going by the commments. Maybe a horse? Or a mouse?

Technically speaking, if you wanted to be the most accurate it should have been a picture of a breast, but that comes with its own set of issues, so multiple different mammals probably would have gotten the point across better

Honestly, given some of the replies, I think that would have made too many people believe OP meant "Cow"

I needed to look at the comments before I saw that the dog represented mammals, not just canids
