grammatical number - My favorite animal are dogs

My favorite animal are dogs.



Is this acceptable?



I believe this is ok because I see "animal" as one species and "dogs" as the variety of breeds.



Of course, the best answer would be "my favorite animal is the dog" but that's not the point.



Could someone give me a clear, technical answer as to whether or not this is acceptable (grammar)?




Thanks
