Possible associations
A dog may evoke dependable company and moving together. A friendly approach differs from barking across your path; your actual experience with dogs is an important clue.
Recall whether the dog reacted to you or someone else. Protective behavior may evoke wanting a boundary maintained on your behalf; following you may highlight a wish for steady company. A leash versus free movement can help explore the place of freedom alongside security.
