dog is a colorful command-line DNS client designed as a more user-friendly alternative to traditional tools like dig. It lets users query DNS records from the terminal while using modern command-line argument conventions and readable output formatting. The tool supports common record types and can perform lookups over UDP, TCP, DNS-over-TLS, and DNS-over-HTTPS. It can also emit JSON, which makes it useful for scripts, automation, and structured debugging workflows. dog runs across Windows, macOS, and Linux, giving developers and administrators a consistent DNS inspection tool across platforms. Its main value is combining practical DNS troubleshooting with clearer output and modern transport support.
