Pictogram (象形) – an axe.
Etymology 1
Smith (2011) proposes that 戌 (OC *smid), graphically depicting an ax or halberd, is nominal derivative of the verb 滅 (OC *med) "to annihilate" "by the multivalent prefix *s- (‘annihilate’ > ‘annihilator’ and thus ‘axe’)" & it was used to name the late, broad waxing crescent moon.
Association with the dog was possibly arbitrary; just as how 辰 was associated arbitarily with the dragon (see Ferlus, 2013).
