Oh?
What definition or criteria of "animal" does a foetal puppy not meet?
======================
It's not an animal YET. Just as a fetus is not a human YET.
It can't fetch, catch a frisbee, eat Alpo, or bark. If I were petting a puppyfetus, everyone would surely think I was insane.
At most it is a potential dog, a potential animal.
You might get the Georgia Supreme Court to tell you a more detailed answer if you made a test case of it.
