Let awake dogs tell the truth

Good advice, but how could the sleeping ones even say anything, untruthful or otherwise?

Saying, "Let awake dogs tell the truth" makes no more sense than verbally allowing them to fib while snoozing: dogs can't talk in any case, as we all know, and so they could not tell "lies" in any alertness-state --- i.e., whether they are asleep or up and around.

I got that dog in me

Not literally meaning such, this saying instead suggests that the person saying it has qualities of a dog. Loyalty, protectiveness, strength, etc.

Person 1: How did you lift that boulder?
Person 2: I got that dog in me.

dog-whistley

Adj. Used to describe questions asked to one seeking entrance to a fringe group/political cult. A dog-whistley question lets true believers know it's time to talk about the hard core stuff. "Samantha" on WEB OF MAKE BELIEVE (Episode 3, "I'm Not a Nazi") used this phrase to describe the way white supremacist group, Identity Europe, delicately asked her about "the Jewish Question."

These skinheads were asking me these dog-whistley questions about other races and then I realized they wanted to recruit me.

We are out of bread and hot dogs but we have ham and hot dog buns. Looks like ham dogs again.
