>Am I overthinking it or is there a big difference in African Wild Dogs vs regular dogs/canines I don't know about?
Not really. AWDs have 4 toes though. Other than that and the fact they're the most successful predator in Africa, ~85% success rate vs Lions at ~25%, Hyenas at ~30%-70%(depending on group size), they're not too different from domestic breeds of similar build/purpose.
