The Dog is guidance, loyalty and trust
What does dreaming about The Dog mean?
Dreaming of a dog indicates a skill that you have ignored or forgotten, but needs to be activated. Your own values and intentions will enable you to go forward in the world and succeed. If the dog is vicious and/or growling, then it means some inner conflict within yourself.
Canine: The canine family can represent a male, you or a person close, or a situation that might traditionally be thought of as a male responsibility. It can sometimes suggest a relationship beginning.
