【释名】狗獾（读音同“欢”）、天狗。
李时珍说：獾字也写作“ ”，这也是形容它肥胖迟钝的样子。四川人叫它天狗。
【集解】汪颖说：狗獾在各地的山野中都有，挖掘土穴居住。外形像家狗，但脚短，吃果实。有好几种相似的动物。它的肉味道非常甘美，皮可以做裘衣。
狗獾像小狗但身体肥壮，嘴尖脚矮，尾巴短且毛发浓密，呈褐色。皮可以做裘衣的领子。也吃虫蚁、瓜果。
另外有海獾皮，可供制作衣服和裘皮，也是这一类的动物。
【气味】味甘、酸，性平，无毒。
【主治】补益中气，益气力，适合食用（汪颖）。治疗小儿疳积消瘦，杀灭蛔虫，适宜食用（苏颂）。功效与 相同（李时珍）。
（收录于《纲目》正文）
【集解】李时珍说：根据熊太古《冀越集》记载：木狗生长在广东左右的江山县中。外形像黑狗，能爬树。
它的皮做成衣服或褥子，能够促进气血运行。元世祖（忽必烈）患有足疾，取它的皮做裤子，人们于是很重视它，这是以前未曾听说过的。我（李时珍）曾经听四川人说：川西有一种玄豹，大如狗，黑色，尾巴也像狗。它的皮做成裘衣、褥子，非常暖和。冬天远行时，用它的皮包裹肉食，几天后仍然温热，当地人也十分珍贵它。这也属于木狗一类，所以附记在这里。
（读音同“侪”。收录于《唐本草》）
【释名】豺狗。
李时珍说：根据《字说》记载：豺能胜过同类，又知道祭祀野兽，可以说是很有才德了。所以字形从“才”。《埤雅》说：豺，就是柴的意思。俗名体瘦如豺是正确的。
【集解】李时珍说：豺，在各处的山中都有，属于野狼一类。俗名叫豺狗，外形像狗但颜色较白，前低后高且尾巴长，身体细瘦而健猛，毛色黄褐色，牙齿像锥子一样咬物，成群行走时老虎也畏惧它，又喜欢吃羊。
它的叫声像狗，人们厌恶它，认为它能引来鬼魅，是不祥之兆。它的气味臊臭令人讨厌。罗愿说：世间传说狗是豺的舅舅，见到狗就跪拜，也是相互制约的关系。
【肉】
【气味】味酸，性热，有毒。
孟诜说：吃豺的肉，会损害人的精神，消耗人的脂肉，使人消瘦。
【皮】
【气味】性热。
【主治】治疗冷痹、软脚病（脚气），煮熟后用其皮缠绕包裹患处，即可痊愈（苏恭）。治疗各种疳痢、腹中各种疮疡，煮汁饮用，或者烧成灰后用酒送服。它的灰也可以敷治龋齿疮（孟诜。又说：头骨烧成灰混合酒灌入牛马的槽中，牛马就会变得温顺驯良）。治疗小儿夜啼，各种方法都无效时……

[Names] Huan (Dog Badger, pronounced like "Huan"), Heavenly Dog.
Li Shizhen stated: The character for Huan is also written as " ", which describes its appearance of being fat and dull. People in Sichuan call it the Heavenly Dog.
[Collection of Explanations] Wang Ying said: The Dog Badger is found in mountains and wilds everywhere; it lives in burrows dug into the earth. Its shape resembles a domestic dog but with short legs, and it eats fruits. There are several similar species. Its meat tastes very sweet and delicious, and its skin can be made into fur garments.
The Dog Badger resembles a small dog but is plump, with a pointed snout, short legs, a short tail, and dense hair, colored brownish. Its skin can be used for fur collars. It also eats insects, ants, melons, and fruits.
Additionally, Sea Otter skin is available for making clothes and furs; this is also of the same category.
[Flavor and Properties] Sweet and sour, neutral in nature, non-toxic.
[Therapeutic Actions] Tonifies the middle jiao and benefits qi; suitable for consumption (Wang Ying). Treats pediatric malnutrition (Gan syndrome) with emaciation, kills roundworms (Ascaris); suitable for consumption (Su Song). Its efficacy is the same as that of [missing text] (Li Shizhen).
(Recorded in the main text of "Compendium")
[Collection of Explanations] Li Shizhen said: According to Xiong Taigu's "Jiyue Ji": The "Wooden Dog" grows in the mountains of Jiangshan County in Guangdong. Its shape resembles a black dog and it can climb trees.
Its skin, when made into clothing or mattresses, can promote the movement of blood and qi. Emperor Shizu of Yuan (Kublai Khan) suffered from foot ailments; he took its skin to make trousers, and people subsequently valued it highly. This was unheard of before. I (Li Shizhen) once heard people from Sichuan say: In western Sichuan, there is a Black Panther, large as a dog, black in color, with a tail like a dog. Its skin, made into fur coats and mattresses, is very warm. When traveling far in winter, wrapping meat in its skin keeps it warm for several days; locals also treasure it greatly. This also belongs to the category of Wooden Dogs, so it is appended here.
[Therapeutic Actions] Eliminates wind-dampness and bi-syndrome in the feet, invigorates blood vessels, and warms the waist and knees (Li Shizhen).
(Pronounced like "Chai". Recorded in "Tang Bencao")
[Names] Dhole (Jackal-like dog).
Li Shizhen said: According to "Zishuo": The Dhole can overcome its own kind and knows how to sacrifice animals, which can be considered talented. Hence the character contains the radical "Cai" (talent). "Piya" states: Dhole means firewood. The common name describing its thin body as resembling a Dhole is correct.
[Collection of Explanations] Li Shizhen said: The Dhole is found in mountains everywhere; it belongs to the wild wolf family. Commonly known as the Dhole Dog, its shape resembles a dog but is whiter, with a low front and high rear, and a long tail. Its body is slender yet vigorous and fierce; its fur is yellowish-brown, and its teeth are like awls for biting prey. When moving in packs, even tigers fear them; they also enjoy eating sheep.
Their sound is like dogs; humans dislike them, believing they attract evil spirits, considering them inauspicious. Their odor is musky and foul. Luo Yuan said: It is traditionally believed that the dog is the uncle of the Dhole, kneeling whenever seeing a dog; this is merely mutual restraint.
[Meat]
[Flavor and Properties] Sour, hot, toxic.
Meng Shen said: Consuming Dhole meat damages human spirit, consumes human fat and flesh, causing emaciation.
[Skin]
[Flavor and Properties] Hot.
[Therapeutic Actions] Treats cold bi-syndrome and soft foot disease (podagra/jamming), by cooking the skin and wrapping it around the affected area, leading to recovery (Su Gong). Treats various Gan dysentery and ulcers in the abdomen; boil the juice to drink, or burn to ash and take with wine. The ash can also be applied to treat dental caries ulcers (Meng Shen. Additionally: Burning the skull to ash and mixing with wine to pour into the trough makes cattle and horses docile and obedient). Treats infant night crying when all other methods fail...
