1. 1狗狗(口語、帶點俏皮,不是正式說法)

    A pooch is a dog, said in a fond or slightly funny way. People call their own pet the pooch, or use it in light captions and chat. It is informal, not a vet’s word and not a rude word. It usually means a pet dog, not a wolf, and not a formal breed name. You would not write it on an official form; there you just say dog.

組成Origin uncertain. One unproven guess links it to Putzi, a German name for lapdogs (perhaps from Putz + -i, and the cute word putzig). Another guess says it is probably related to pouch. Nobody has a sure story.
