The word "dog" already has a well-standardized diminutive form in English, it's just gained a bit of a risque connotation (especially when read online). It is interesting though that "doggo" is seen as a replacement. I thought "doggo" is most commonly used in references to dogs who are, in fact, lying doggo.

It's a very stylish diminutive.

It took me a while but I believe they mean "doggy".

In what context is this risque?

Because of "doggy style"
