The Most Adorable 🐶 Dog Emoji Twitter Thread: Here’s Why The Internet’s Freaking Out Over It 🐕
Famous author Josh Billings once said, “A dog is the only thing on Earth that loves you more than you love yourself.” Certainly, we agree with that statement, and we’re sure all the other dog lovers are replying with a loud “heck, yeah,” to that quote, too! Anyone who has ever owned a pet knows they have the capacity for the kind of unconditional love seen otherwise only between a human and its offspring. Isn’t that amazing?

Having said that, do you know you can spice up your social media posts with different types of Dog emoji? If you didn’t, well, now you know! You can even include them in your texts, social media posts, and emails ASAP! Let’s go over some of them below.
Dog Emoji
The 🐕 Dog emoji is a cartoon-styled photo of a dog, a four-legged animal people use as a pet or to hunt or guard things. The dog is standing on all fours, is facing left, is light-brown in color, and has a curly tail and floppy ears.
The digital community first saw the 🐕 Dog emoji in 2010, when it was released to the public as part of Unicode 6.0, the first version of the Unicode Standard to support emoji. The 🐕 Dog emoji appears in topics about dogs and is also used as a synonym for cuteness and friendliness since many people think dogs are cute.
Facebook and Google’s 🐕 Dog emoji looks similar to the Shiba Inu, a Japanese breed of hunting dog. To go with that, here’s another interesting fact- the 🐕 Dog emoji appearing on vendors WhatsApp, Google, and Messenger are the only Dog emojis that are forward-facing, the rest are facing to the side.
How to use the 🐕 Dog emoji:

People use the 🐶 Dog Face emoji when they want to talk about dogs, pets, or their favorite animals.

Guide Dog Emoji
Second to the last on our 🐕 Dog emoji list is the 🦮 Guide Dog emoji. The 🦮 Guide Dog emoji is a picture of a yellowish-brown guide dog. A guide dog is a dog trained to help lead a person who is blind or visually impaired. All guide dogs come with a harness and a handle. The 🦮 Guide Dog emoji is no different, all versions of the symbol have a harness, a handle, and a collar.
Unicode Standard introduced the 🦮 Guide Dog emoji to the public, and later added it to Emoji 12.0.
The harnesses in Apple, Google, and Twitter’s 🦮 Guide Dog emojis are gray. On the other hand, the harness on Facebook’s 🦮 Guide Dog emoji is green, and the harness on Window’s 🦮 Guide Dog emoji is purple. To add to that, Facebook’s 🦮 Guide Dog emoji is pinkish-beige in color, not yellow at all.

The 🐕🦺 Service Dog emoji faces left, is either gray or yellow-brown in color, and wears a red and gray harness. The 🐕🦺 Service Dog emoji was added to Emoji 12.0 in 2019. Emoji 12.0 is the first set of new emojis approved for release in 2019.

In addition to what was previously mentioned, among all the vendors with the Service Dog emoji, there are those with several differences in the emoji’s position. Whatsapp 🐕🦺 Service Dog emoji is shown facing forward, unlike the other dogs depicted from a side view.

Conclusion
If you can’t own a dog, for whatever reason, animal emojis like 🐕 Dog emojis and 😺 Cat emojis are the next best thing to having a pet.
On the other hand, if you are financially ready to bring an animal into your life, then go for it! Indeed, owning and caring for a pet can be a very rewarding experience. The joy, affection, and love our pets bring into our lives make all of the care they need worth it, especially in the midst of this pandemic.
Benefits Of Owning A Pet
Based on a report made by the Center For Disease Control And Prevention, along with the happiness they provide, pets offer a variety of physical and mental health benefits. Some of these include decreased blood pressure, lower cholesterol levels, and decreased levels of triglycerides (a form of fat in your body).
Pets Are Covid-Free
Furthermore, you’re free to hug and kiss your pets as much as you want due to the fact animals cannot be infected with the virus that causes COVID-19!
Conversely, it is important to wash your hands after playing with, feeding, or cleaning your pet. This reduces the risk of getting sick from other germs pets may carry.
Be Safe
No matter what people may say, water and soap are best for hand washing. On the other hand, if you are on the road or at a place with no water near you, you can use hand sanitizer in the meantime- until running water and soap is available. If you’ve got young children in the house, please assist them with hand washing. Remember, a clean house is a happy house!
Have A Safe Home
In everything we do, let’s remember what author Daphne Joyce Maynard once said, “A good home must be made, not bought.” Here’s wishing you all the best in caring for your pets and in making your home just the way you want it to be!
