 Bird Info — Osprey [ "Osprey.htm" ]
The "genus" (plural "genera") represents a taxonomic division that generally refers to a group of animals which are similar in structure and descent, but are not all able to breed among themselves.
By contrast, the "species" represents a taxonomic division that generally refers to a group of animals which are similar in structure and descent and are able to breed among themselves.
Once the genus and/or species have been mentioned, they are usually abbreviated in subsequent occurrences (e.g., in subsequent references the Long-billed Dowitcher's scientific name would be written "L. scolopaceus").

As pandion pointed out Carnivora is an order classification, Canidae is a family classification.
Dog in common usage usually means the domestic dog, Canis lupus familiaris (originally classified as Canis familiaris by Linnaeus in 1758, but reclassified as a subspecies of the wolf, Canis lupus, by the Smithsonian Institute and the American Society of Mammalogists in 1993).
The genus and species for the Gray wolf is Canis lupus.

I guess what you are referring to is the Family Canidae, which includes several genra which includes lots of animals.
So I guess you're going to have to tell us what you mean by the sloppy use of the word (that also refers to teeth).
Certainly wolves and dogs are not the same species, although they do share a common ancestor and can even interbreed at times, as can wolves and dogs interbreed with coyotes.

 Classification of birds of South America Part 02
Given its unique karyotype [REF], which differs from that known for other hawks and eagles, and given that Pandion haliaetus can be recognized as a species in the fossil record as far back as the Miocene [REF], family rank may be more appropriate (as in Friedmann 1950, Wetmore 1965, Fjeldså and Krabbe 1990, Poole 1992).
The genus Buteo as currently broadly defined is almost certainly polyphyletic (Riesing et al.
2005) confirm that continued treatment in a monotypic genus is warranted, and that it is a basal taxon within the Laridae.

The literal translation of the osprey's genus name, "Pandion haliaetus" is "Pandion's sea eagle," but it seems that the scientist who named it thus—one Marie Jules-Cesar Lelorgne de Savigny—was somewhat confused.
Theirs is a lengthy and bloody story, but suffice it to say that in the end Philomela, Procne and Tereus are changed—as was the convention of Greek mythology—into, respectively, a nightingale, a swallow, and a hawk.
The osprey should, in all honesty, have been named in its genus, for King Nisus of Alcathous, whose daughter, Scylla, sacrifices him to his attacking enemy, Minos, whom Scylla loves.

 Detail of Osprey- Nature Navigator
Pandion - In Greek mythology Pandion was the king of Attica, and the father of Philomela and Procne.
Procne went to Thrace as wife of Tereus and had a son called Itys.
When Marie-Jules-Cesar Lelorgne de Savigny decribed the genus Pandion in 1809, he appears to have associated this story with the osprey simply because it had a bird-of-prey in it
