Why would "dog" be the category? To me, the category (the container) is "animals" -- and "dog" and "bird" are things, or instances of things which go into the category "animals".
While dog is an animal a collie is a dog. While bird is an animal a cardinal is a bird.
Lassie is the object which is tagged 'collie' and through parenting also 'dog' and 'animal'.
