Another method might be to note that, in 63, there are nine sets of seven, so the sets (parts) must represent sets of seven animals. Since the ratio is 9:5, then the five sets of dogs, having seven dogs each, must total thirty-five dogs.
Note: You can check your work. Does "63/35" simplify to "9/7"? If so, your ratio is correct.
