Ave Canem?

Ave Canem?
I was lucky enough to visit Pompeii eight years ago–absolutely fantastic, and I only saw a few strays roaming the streets (the cats on the Palatine were worse, but I suppose much less dangerous). It’s nice to know someone is doing something positive to change that.
OK, so [C]Ave canem is a good cause with a bad Latin name. Please explain:
Giacomo Bottinelli, the coordinator of the project, acknowledged that the Latin was not correct. “It should be Ave Canis” — for Hail Dog — “but we didn’t want to get into anything too complicated,” said Mr. Bottinelli, who studied classical philology in college.
