Can I get some information regarding 'generic use' on the Internet?

1. A dog
2. The dog
3. the faithful animal
4. a faithful animal

Answer 1

#4 says dogs are the only faithful animals, others are not. Is that what you mean? The others are fine, and #4 is okay if that's what you mean. When you say "the dog" in this context, it means the canine animal in general, not a specific pet.
