A used book (overall condition unimportant) that an avid reader "rescues" from a library sale, used-bookstore, clearance shelf, or home of a downsizing relative, without any immediate need for it but in the fear it will be pulped otherwise. The term puppy-dog comes from the similarity to rescuing an animal and taking it home to a house already full of cats and dogs, for fear it would otherwise be euthanized.
"Did you really need to buy DISCOURSES ON LIVY by Niccolo Machiavelli?"
"Well . . . it's a puppy-dog book to me. It's a good clean copy, it was cheap, eventually I may find time to read it, and most of all I couldn't bear the idea of it hitting the recycling bin and sent to print heaven."

This is a rather simple action performed on an average family dog. Four or more men line up and "make their mayo" all over the dog. After a while, the liguid hardens and the dog appears to be made out of fine chinese porcelain.
Sparky was really a fun loving dog until we gave him the Porcelain Puppy Dog , en la casa de Anderson.

When playing tag, or another game where there is a 'base' or other type of safe zone, the person 'it' stands outside the zone, waiting for the person to leave so as to tag them.
person1: *runs into base*
person2: *stands outside base waiting for them to try to escape*
person1: Hey! No puppy-dog gaurding!

A look you get in your eyes or a smile you get when seeing or talking to your dream partner.
