A dog, a domesticated carnivorous mammal that typically has a long snout, an acute sense of smell, non-retractable claws, and a barking, howling, or whining voice. The term "perro" is the most common Spanish word for "dog" and often implies the idea of a pet or companion animal without needing a specific qualifier.
