Why most text dogs have floppy ears

A cat is easy to spot from its pointed ears. A dog needs something else. In text drawings that is usually the ears hanging down at the sides, drawn with brackets or slashes that point outward. Add a big nose in the middle, often an o or a capital O, and the face reads as a dog right away.

Dogs seen from the side work too, but they need more room. The long snout and the tail make them wider than they are tall. Check the width on each card before you send one to a phone.

A famous dog that was also a cow

Old Mac users may remember Clarus the dogcow. Apple drew it as a small black and white picture to show how a page would print. It looked a bit like a dog and a bit like a cow, and its sound was "Moof!", a mix of "moo" and "woof". It was made of pixels, not letters, but it came from the same idea: a simple drawing made from very few dots.

Make the dog look like yours

Small changes turn any dog here into your own pet. Swap the ears: hanging brackets for a beagle, pointed slashes for a husky. A longer row of dashes for the body makes a dachshund.

Put a # or an @ over one eye for a spot. Change the tail from a straight line to a curly ~.

Copy the dog into a notes app and make the change there. Replace one character with one character, so the lines below do not shift.

Frequently asked questions

How do I send a dog drawing in a text message?

Pick a small one with the "Up to 5 lines" filter and press Copy. Small dogs still look like dogs when a phone uses a normal font. Big ones are safer in a code block, which apps like Discord support.

Can I turn the dog to face the other way?

Yes. Press Open and then Flip. The flip swaps every / with \ and every ( with ), so the dog turns around without falling apart.

Is there a one line dog?

Short dogs are harder than short cats, because a dog face needs ears on both sides. Use the "One line" filter to see the ones we have.
