MVC ActionResult isn't grabbing Where expression correctly - asp.net-mvc

Question

I'm working on an animal shelter application. I have an AnimalInitializer.cs in my DAL and I have it broken down into dogs and cats by species. In my controller, I want to see the list of dogs for one ActionResult and a list of cats for another ActionResult. They are all returning as dogs when I run the ShowDogs view and nothing is returned on the ShowCats view.
Pet model:
public enum SpeciesType { Dog, Cat }
public class Pet
{
public SpeciesType SpeciesType { get; set; }
}
AnimalInitializer seed:
var dogs = new List<Dog>
{
new Dog { SpeciesType = SpeciesType.Dog, Breed = "German Shepherd" }
}
var Cats = new List<Cat>
{
new Cat { SpeciesType = SpeciesType.Cat, Breed = "Domestic Long Haired" },
}
PetController:
public ActionResult ShowDogs()
{
var dogs = db.Pets.Where(d => d.SpeciesType == SpeciesType.Dog);
return View(dogs.ToList());
}
public ActionResult ShowCats()
{
var cats = db.Pets.Where(c => c.SpeciesType == SpeciesType.Cat);
return View(cats.ToList());
}
ShowDogs View:
#model IEnumerable<AnimalShelter1.Models.Pet>
<table class="table">
<tr>
<th>
#Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.Breed)
</th>
<th>
#Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.SpeciesType)
</th>
</tr>
#foreach (var item in Model) {
<tr>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Breed)
</td>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.SpeciesType)
</td>
</tr>
}
</table>
ShowCats View:
#model IEnumerable<AnimalShelter1.Models.Pet>
<table class="table">
<tr>
<th>
#Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.SpeciesType)
</th>
<th>
#Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.Breed)
</th>
</tr>
#foreach (var item in Model) {
<tr>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.SpeciesType)
</td>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Breed)
</td>
</tr>
}
</table>

Answer 1

I am not sure whether the below solution works. But please try this:
public ActionResult ShowDogs()
{
var dogs = db.Pets.Where(d => d.SpeciesType == SpeciesType.Dog).ToList();
return View(dogs);
}
public ActionResult ShowCats()
{
var cats = db.Pets.Where(c => c.SpeciesType == SpeciesType.Cat).ToList();
return View(cats);
}

I just ended up editing the ones that were supposed to be cats and saving them and that seemed to have worked. Every time I launch the application, the animals are in their correct places, and the breakpoints for ShowDogs and ShowCats are both getting hit and populated with the correct animals. Weird, I don't know what went wrong with it...
