Meaning
A dog wearing a service vest, added in Emoji 12.0 alongside the guide dog. It represents assistance dogs of every kind — medical alert, psychiatric, mobility — not only those for blindness. It exists because service dogs support an enormous range of disabilities, and their handlers wanted representation. The vest is the key detail: it means the dog is working, and should not be petted.
