Figure 1. Speothos is the living bush dog from South America. This taxon is basal to cats + dogs + hyaenas.

The South American bush dog
Speothos veanticus (Lund 1842; up to 75cm in length; Figs. 1, 2) is traditionally considered a basal dog (family: Canidae). Here Speothos nests at the base of cats + hyaenas + aardwolves + dogs. Miacis is a similar sister basal to sea lions and both are derived from another short-legged carnivore, the European mink, Mustela. Speothos was first identified as a fossil, then as a living taxon. Webbed toes allow this genus to swim more effectively.
