Yep, a complete joke. Ricks long solo on Dogs would render a writing credit IMHO, as well as the rhodes intro on Sheep.
I understand your reasoning, but the song credits don't work that way. Being credited in a song is only possible if the two reasons are fulfilled
1. If the person is the main melody/music writer of the song(s).
2. If the person is a lyric writer of the song(s).
Rick, by his own admission, made no musical or a textual contribution to the Animals album.

I am painfully aware of how the writing credit works/worked but Dogs and Sheep are very long tracks. Dogs is about the same length as Shine on and Echoes. Shine On is divided into 9 parts with different writing credits. Dogs could also have been divided in the same way. I'd also say the same goes for Sheep giving the intro to Wright and the outro riff to Gilmour.
