Meaning
A full-bodied dog, usually a shiba or similar, as distinct from the dog face 🐶. It reads as an actual animal rather than a cute cartoon, so it appears in posts about real dogs — walks, vets, breeds, adoption. It also carries the enormous cultural weight of dogs online, where they are arguably the internet's favourite subject. It is the standard emoji for anything canine.
