Answer:

A dog is an animal (Animalia) not a fungi (Fungi). Fungi absorb nutrients from decomposing plants and animals ingest their food. Fungi cells have cell walls and animal cells don't (Fungi are not plants, they do not perform photosynthesis). Animals have sensory organs and can move but fungi don't.

So a dog is from the kingdom Animalia (is an animal) and not the kingdom fungi (is a fungi) because it can move, it's cells do not have cell walls, it has sensory rogans and ingests its food.
