Proposal
The tag barrier=dog represents a place in front of a property, normally on the path or the road, where a dog may be loose, and thus posing a hazard. This could be used in reference to a dog even behind a closed gate, since a dog may be dangerous to passersby even in such cases.
Rationale
In many countries, it is very common to have dogs on your property, especially in rural areas. They are normally behind gates, but many of times dogs have been loose in my area, and I have heard of this happening in other countries (new inspiration for tag). Pedestrians and cyclists could be injured in these cases (I almost was once myself.)
Examples
Dogs are sometimes chained or let loose in yards, effectively being a barrier.
Tagging
Put a node on a road, path, or outside a property's gate (if the path has not been tagged) and tag barrier=dog
Applies to
Applies to nodes on paths and roads.
Rendering
Possibly a similar variant of this (probably barking).
