Meaning
The friendly face of a puppy with floppy ears and a small nose, looking straight out. It is the face-only dog emoji and leans cute, compared with the full-body dog 🐕.
Pet owners use it for photos, vet visits and dog cafés, and many people use it as an affectionate nickname or to look sweet when asking for a favour. Example: “Can I borrow your charger, pretty please 🐶”.
