Not simply any dog, but a HOUND DOG, with droopy ears and a deep, baying voice, or a hoarse and raspy voice with long, resonant howls. Same effect occurs to someone SMOKING OPIUM with a long, howling, deeply resonating COUGH:「…black tar heroin is often smoked, a method of ingestion users call 'chasing the dragon.'…Heroin [an opiate] smokers often exhibit a hacking cough that can lead to asthma. It is not uncommon for young people who have smoked heroin, particularly black tar heroin, to end up requiring nebulizers--machines that clear the lungs with medication and hot steam to help them breathe. …A hoarse, raspy voice is a common side effect of smoking both cigarettes and heroin. A person who is smoking heroin may cough up blood, suddenly increase usage of cough medications and throat sprays, or have difficulty speaking in [a] normal voice.」

Always keep in mind that these glyphs were originally created by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles and analogies for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that) and represented Chinese society many thousands of years ago, and not as a written or spoken language. If these glyphs had been intended for language use, the sages could not have possibly designed a worse system. Is it truly possible that all these glyphs started out as off-color jokes and puzzles? Yes! It is! Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? And now, there is a cover-up. No one is suggesting these glyphs depict contemporary life in China, Japan, or anywhere else. This site describes glyph meanings, not people. These glyphs however, describe many and various things, including people, long before there were any notions of becoming politically incorrect. The question to be answered is, should these glyphs continue being used, by anyone, anywhere, for expressing language? (More...) Despite how bad the human world is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or they could only have been worse?

By the way, with a limited number of the same elements used by the sages again and again to form these glyphs, you should expect to find the same explanations again and again, as tedious as that may become, and as an inherent trait of any dictionary. This site explains the dual meanings of glyphs most often ignored by other sources that provide you with only the sanctioned definition, generally.
