Searching for the dog emoji on TikTok means you want the literal dog-face graphic used for pet content and friendship-coded shoutouts, not a generic Unicode dog-face emoji which works on every platform but lacks the TikTok-native graphic. The bracket code for the dog face on TikTok is [dog] -- it renders as a dog face that reads as both literal pet and affectionate best-friend slang. For ironic doge-meme absurdity try [doge], for adorable admiration use [cute], and for smitten heart-eyes crush try [loveface]. Type [dog] in any TikTok comment, caption, bio, or DM and the app converts it to the hidden dog graphic. Note that the bracket code only converts inside the TikTok app -- it will not turn into an emoji in plain text messages or other apps.
