Dog in Coffee Grounds: What It Means
A dog in the coffee grounds is a sign of how much you value loyalty - a reminder of the people who are truly there for you, and of who you lean on and owe your thanks to. The grounds don't foretell your fate, and in the dog you read what is on your mind now.

What the folk omen says
The dog is the sign of a friend and of loyalty: a reliable person nearby, devotion, support. A running dog promises good news from friends, a lying one promises calm among your own people.

A dog in the grounds is about how much you value loyalty and about who you lean on. It reminds you of the people who are truly there. Look at who you trust and who you owe your thanks to.
Dog by place in the cup
Close to the rim the dog speaks of a friend whose support you will want any day now. Fallen toward the bottom, it is about an old loyalty or a devotion that time has already tested. By the handle the dog is the close person you lean your weight on. On the far side, a reliable person from outside your circle. A big clear shape means more than a barely visible one.
FAQ
Is a dog in coffee grounds a good sign or a bad one?
In the cup the dog is neither good news nor bad, because the grounds do not prophesy. The dog works as a mirror here, showing what you are turning over now, and whether that is light or heavy is yours to weigh.
What does the dog at the bottom of the cup mean?
The bottom of the cup is the distant and the deep, so the dog down there is read as an old story or as something coming out of your past. The dog near the rim would speak of the days just ahead, and on the far side from the handle, of other people.
In coffee cup reading the place of a sign tells you when and about whom: nearer the rim is sooner, toward the bottom is further off or out of the past, by the handle is you and your home, opposite the handle is other people.
