Below are articles from the following dictionary:
Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
1 Strong's Number: g2965 Greek: kuon

Dog:

is used in two senses,

(a) natural, Mat 7:6; Luk 16:21; 2Pe 2:22;

(b) metaphorical, Phl 3:2; Rev 22:15, of those whose moral impurity will exclude them from the New Jerusalem. The Jews used the term of Gentiles, under the idea of ceremonial impurity. Among the Greeks it was an epithet of impudence. Lat., canis, and Eng., "hound" are etymologically akin to it.

2 Strong's Number: g2952 Greek: kunarion

Dog:

a diminutive of No. 1, "a little dog, a puppy," is used in Mat 15:26, 27; Mar 7:27, 28.
