Consider "my Dog $spot".  From the Perl6-to-English Dictionary:
  Dog: a dog.
  $spot: the dog that is named Spot.
  ^Dog: the concept of a dog.

Am I understanding things correctly?

If so, here's what I'd expect: a dog can bark, or Spot can bark; but
the concept of a dog cannot bark:
  can Dog "bark"; # answer: yes
  can $spot "bark"; # answer: yes
  can ^Dog "bark"; # answer: no
