<p>The dog=* key is a bit of a fudge. It expresses both the (legal)
access restriction and the suitability/intended user of a feature.
(I write legal in brackets as it is often, in fact, not a legal
status but more a specific type of permissive access.)</p>
<p>Therefore, I don't see a problem with amenity=drinking_water +
dog=yes as identifying a drinking water source intended primarily
for providing water for human consumption with a dog accessible
(presumably secondary) outlet. If you wanted to add extra
descriptive tags, such as dog:bowl=yes, then that seems fine. But
they should be additional to dog=yes.</p>
(For dog-only water fountains, we'd use amenity=watering_place)<br>

<div>My presumption based on your description, is what
the original user(s) of this tagging combination are
trying to express, is a drinking fountain that has a
special kind of spout low to the ground that's
intended for dogs. </div>

<div>I have never seen this kind of fountain, but presumably
they exist. Much more common around here is a kind of
bowl/sink or small trough at the bottom, where the water is
collected before going to the drain. For example this type
of fountain is typically used for dog parks around here: <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:fountain%3Droman_wolf" moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:fountain%3Droman_wolf</a></div>

<div> They're not super common here, but I do see them
from time to time in public parks. You didn't cite a
number, and the combination doesn't come up in
taginfo, so it would be helpful I think to understand
what kind of numbers we're talking about if we're
potentially erasing someone's documented usage.</div>

<div>based on your comment I have checked the numbers with
overpass turbo, and they were higher than I expected, 942
combinations with dog=* of which 431 are dog=yes (the rest
seemed mostly "no")</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>While I still believe the tag is illchosen and prevents
from distinguishing legal access from possible use (depending
on the dog of course), I guess the ship has sailed...</div>
