Again, humans are animals. Her phrasing is weird, but not wrong. She referred to Spike by his species, and not knowing the other animal's species, she said animal. Asking if he's tame is admittedly strange, but referring to him as an animal is objectively correct.
Also, what does humanoid have to do with anything? They've never even seen a human before, so the idea that humanoid=sapient wouldn't even be a thing to them. The clothes is the only part that matters in your point.
