ID of armorial on coin silver spoon

[samtron76df]

I have an American coin silver spoon from about 1795 that has this armorial on it. How do you go about identifying what this is (wolf? dog? other?) and potentially what family it belongs to? To me it looks like this is maybe a howling wolf. Tks

Someone told me this is a "Wolfs Head Erased" and that since there is no family info or motto attached that it is likely impossible to determine what family it was made for - unless there are others from the set previously tied to a specific family.
