[xsl] Simple attribute value replacement question

Here is an overly simplified example of what I am trying to do. I want
to convert from one XML to another, I am having trouble changing the
attribute "type". It needs to go from the word "dog" to the word
"canine":

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<petXML>
	<pet type="dog">
		<color>black</color>
	</pet>
</petXML>

To:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<animalXML>
	<pet type="canine">
		<color>black</color>
	</pet>
</animalXML>

I thought this xsl would do it but apparently not:

<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?>
<xsl:transform xmlns:xsl = "http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version = "1.0">

<xsl:template match = "petXML">
	<xsl:element name = "animalXML">
		<xsl:apply-templates select = "*"/>
	</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match = "*">
	<xsl:apply-templates select="@type"/>
	<xsl:copy-of select = "."/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="@type[.='dog']">
		<xsl:value-of select="canine"/>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:transform>

This is what I get:
<?xml version="1.0"?><animalXML><pet
type="dog"><color>black</color></pet></animalXML>

Can someone please tell me where I am going wrong and how to do this?
Thanks!
