What Does Dog Mean in Dream Interpretation?
Dreaming of a dog means loyalty. A friendly dog is a real friend; an aggressive one is loyalty turned strained.
The dog stands for faithfulness in dreams as consistently as it does in waking life. It usually points at a specific person.
Its behaviour is the reading: a friendly dog confirms someone reliable, a growling one suggests a friendship under strain.

Frequently asked questions
What does dreaming about a dog mean?
Loyalty and friendship. It usually confirms something about a person already in your life rather than predicting someone new.
What does an aggressive dog mean in a dream?
Loyalty gone wrong — a friendship under strain, or a suspicion that someone's support has conditions attached.
