By the way, there are no similar difficulties with Kostyan, and there are arguments for it :)
They attributed the "spirits" to me because of the girl in my avatar. Apparently, spirits are an integral attribute of a lady. Well, well. In my opinion, it smells like fitting the evidence to an active player (i.e., me).

Regarding the animal in Kostyan's avatar, we could be wrong, as could the GM. If he saw a dog there, he might have found corresponding evidence (although the leash version seems far-fetched...). In general, I also think it looks more like a wolf than anything else :)
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
Take away our pride.
