W is for Dog?!

My toddler has several educational toys that he plays with. There is one in particular he's been attached to for quite some time. It's an orange lap top that teaches numbers and letters. At first he'd just turn it on and off repeatedly. But now that he's a little older he's starting to recognize the letters.

The keys all have a picture associated with them which is a great way to learn and it works. Except when three of the letters have an animal that looks like a dog! So when I ask him where the 'D' is for dog he'll point to the 'W' which has a picture of a wolf or the 'F' which has a picture of a fox! Who decided to do this? Aren't there a plethora of 'W' and 'F' words to use? How about fan, fish or fire? Water, or whale?

By the letter 'O' there's a picture of a tree. Seriously? Why isn't it on the 'T'  Oh, it's for oak...silly me. Why not a picture of an octopus? I'm beginning to think there are forces out there that are trying to mess with me. Don't they have a focus group of moms or teachers who advice these toy makers? Well, they sure didn't ask me! My poor son is going to grow up thinking 'W' is for dog!
