Dog in a dream: meaning

What dream books say

A dog is traditionally read as loyalty, friendship and protection — the companion who stays. A friendly dog that greets you points to trust and to people who have your back. An angry or biting dog is read as a bond that feels strained, or as a friend whose loyalty you have begun to doubt. A lost or sick dog often stands for a relationship that needs care, while a dog guarding a door speaks of your own instinct to protect what is yours. Dream books suggest asking whom the dog reminded you of.
