I read it all - said he was originally a WOLF and occasionally the jackal because of the similarity of the jackal to the wolf. And even when drawn as a jackal he is white or gray because he was supposed to be a wolf, not a jackal and the colors represented that. Even the hieroglyph shows Upuaut with a wolf tail and not the Anubian jackal tail.
I know but you state him as a jackal when he is a wolf. He is mistakenly depicted as a jackal though which is actually wrong. I did a paper on him for English in high school when I had my huge infatuation with Anubis and looked up Wolf-Gods in Mythology.
