From a Guy — From your crush
What does 🐶 mean from a guy you like?
This is a good sign! He's trying to show a softer, more endearing side, or playfully express devotion ('I'm your good boy 🐶'). It indicates he's comfortable being vulnerable and cute with you, which is a major green flag for growing affection. He wants you to see him as charming and non-threatening.

It can come off as trying too hard to be cute or familiar without the rapport, which is giving 'ick' vibes.

It can be both, depending entirely on who sent it, your relationship with them, and the message it's paired with. From a crush, it's definitely leaning flirty and endearing.
