Used in a sentence: "Just recently found in the fossil drawers of the Field Museum back in my former hometown of Chicago: cute little bear dog bones."
Without getting too science-y, it appears that there was a misclassification of something found decades ago, and now that wrong has been corrected and the bones were moved to the amphicyonids family. That being said, the bear dog is not the animal from which all bears and all dogs come ... but it does point to a "common ancestor" farther back.
Or at least that's what we're saying until the next time someone claims an error and reclassifies things again.
