1. The "White-Spotted Bamboo Shark" (Chiloscyllium plagiosum): This shark is commonly known as the "Whitespotted Bamboo Shark" and has distinctive white spots all over its body. They're small, slender sharks, typically found in the Indo-Pacific region.
2. Other sharks with white spots: There are other shark species that have white spots on their bodies, but they may have different common names. Some examples include:
* The "White-Spotted Wobbegong" (Orectolobus maculatus): This shark has a flattened body with a distinctive camouflage pattern that includes white spots.
* The "Whitespotted Smooth-hound" (Mustelus canis): This shark has a more streamlined body and scattered white spots on its back.
3. Misidentification: It's possible that the term "white spotted dog shark" is simply a mistaken identification of one of the above sharks or another species with similar markings.
To be more accurate, it's important to provide more context or a clearer description of the shark in question.
If you can provide more information about the shark's size, shape, location, or any other distinguishing features, it would be easier to determine which species you're referring to.
