What does 🐶 mean from a guy you don't know?
Okay, from a stranger, this is weird. Unless it's a very specific context, like he's trying to sell you something adorable or it's related to an actual dog-themed interaction, it's a bit of a red flag. It can come off as trying too hard to be cute or familiar without the rapport, which is giving 'ick' vibes.

From your crush
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.
