A Dog totem is a great spirit booster.

Vee,
To follow up with CFPurpose's comments on Totems, (my daughter's Totem is also Lion by the way...) If you perceived this guide as a dog, then it probably was. But, just to toss this out there too, it may have been Wolf.

Wolves are often jet black and may be mistaken by those who don't recognize them or have never seen them before as dogs.

Wolf has very different Medicine than Dog.

Besides the link that CFPurpose provided (and besides the thousands that you could find on your own also), here is one that may also give you some great starting points for discovering your Totem and/or connecting with it:

Lakota - Power Animals

You could also read "Animal Speak" by Ted Andrews. This book has become somewhat of a standard on Animal Totems and our relationship to Animal Spirit Guides.

Good Luck!
