Details
The earliest appearances of a dog in LEGO was in the DUPLO set 082 LEGOVILLE. Not much more than a white brick attached to a black brick and printed with a dog's face, dogs since then have taken much more detailed forms, ranging from the only canine resident of Fabuland, Dr. Dog, to the highly detailed DUPLO version of Disney's Pluto, to the realistic animals seen in many City sets.
System
The standard System dog first appeared in 2004. Initially exclusive to Harry Potter, representing Sirius Black, it eventually appeared in the City line in 2006 and has featured in many sets, particularly as a police dog. It was first given printing in 2011. Before the standard dog was introduced, however, the 2001 Harry Potter set 4706 Forbidden Corridor had featured a multipart model of Fluffy, the enormous three-headed guard dog.
Video games
The grey stone dog is a playable character in LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game as a guard dog. It is able to dig, and bites as a defense.
Belville and Scala
The first Belville dog was introduced in sets in 1994, and joined the following year by a smaller puppy. Both were originally plain, but later sets would feature versions with printing. In 1998, Scala introduced new dogs and puppies that had even more detailed, multi-coloured printing patterns for different dog breeds.
DUPLO
The first realistic DUPLO dog appeared in 1986 and resembled a black Scottish terrier. A new dog was introduced in 1998 and was available in either dark orange, or with dalmatian patterning. The most recent DUPLO dog appeared in 2007 and is available in tan, black or dalmatian variations.
Friends
A redesigned dog (possibly a puppy) is scheduled to appear in several Friends sets in 2012.
