Japanese raccoon dogs are actually part of the Canidae family (dog family).

They found him in the well? That would be Yasuburo's brother Yajiro. Good to see he remembered how to transform back from a frog to a tanuki.

Yep, they are real, just like how Chef Boyardee and Colonel Sanders were real people and roadrunners and Tasmanian devils are real creatures.
