What 🐶 means

A friendly dog's face. It means dogs, puppies, and pets, and cuteness in general.

Dog owners use it for their pups, adoption posts, and dog-park plans, often with 🐾 or ❤️. It also calls up puppy-dog eyes when someone is begging, and some people use it to mean “dawg” for a friend.

For a full-body dog, 🐕 is the usual pick.
