In the classic Monopoly board game, the token shaped like a small Scottish terrier is the Scottie dog.
The Scottie dog is one of Monopoly’s best-known playing tokens. Players select a token at the beginning of a game and move it around the board according to dice rolls. The dog’s design is based on a Scottish terrier, giving it a distinctive silhouette among the metal playing pieces.
Classic token sets have included other recognizable objects such as a top hat, thimble, boot, battleship, and race car. Token lineups have changed across editions and over time, so some modern sets contain additional or replacement pieces. The Scottie dog has remained strongly associated with the game’s traditional identity.
The token has no special movement power or gameplay advantage. Its function is simply to mark a player’s position, unlike cards and spaces that change a player’s financial position.
