How do you say his dog in English? - in detail

To express the possessive form of "dog" in English, we use the apostrophe followed by the letter "s". The phrase "his dog" translates to "his dog's". This structure is used when referring to something that belongs to or is associated with a specific dog. For example:

• His dog's leash is red.
• I petted his dog's soft fur.

If the context requires specifying which dog among several, we can say "his dog's" followed by a description or an identifying characteristic:

• His dog's collar has a name tag.
• His dog's favorite toy is a squeaky bone.

In cases where the possessive form of "dog" is used in a general sense rather than referring to a specific dog, we might say "a dog's" or "the dog's":

• A dog's loyalty is unmatched.
• The dog's barking alerted us to danger.

It is important to note that the possessive form is not used when simply indicating the relationship between a man and his pet without specifying an object owned by or associated with the dog:

• His dog is very friendly. (In this case, "his" refers to the man, not the dog.)
