To me, it looks like it is supposed to be a maned wolf c:

If you're speaking of the CS pet categorization/lineart, I believe it's a dog!

You can find this pet on this page of the archive in an all-dog litter, and it has the same base lineart as other newborn dogs.

It is an edited EPPS dog without the blanket
It grew like this

from the 2016 staff litter

The artist confirmed it was inspired by the maned wolf
