Are there any other Egyptian deities that resemble a jackal or dog, besides Anubis? And if there are, where can I find a picture, if there even is one? A book or website link would be great if there is a picture available. Thanks!

Wepwawet - who's often seen as part of Yinepu. :)

Tour Egypt's Wepwawet (http://touregypt.net/featurestories/wepwawet.htm)
Egyptian Myth's brief on Him (http://www.egyptianmyths.net/wepwawet.htm)
The House of Netjer's Entry on Him (http://www.kemet.org/glossary/wepwawet.html)

I can't think of any others, but there are almost certainly other Jackal Gods.
There are easily 50+ Lioness Goddesses, why not a ton of Jackals? :hahugh:

Hope that helps. :)

Aside from Wepwawet, there's Sed (http://www.nemo.nu/ibisportal/0egyptintro/1egypt/gudasidor/sed.htm), Chontamenti (http://godchecker.com/pantheon/egyptian-mythology.php?deity=CHONTAMENTI), Weneg (http://www.touregypt.net/godsofegypt/weneg.htm), Duamutef (http://www.kemet.org/glossary/duamutef.html) and Am-Heh (http://www.touregypt.net/godsofegypt/am-heh.htm). And there's at least one goddess - Anput (http://www.calsky.de/lexikon/en/txt/a/an/anput.php), the female version of Anubis. All of these are obscure at best, so don't count on finding much info on them. :)
