A working dog refers to a canine working animal, i.e. a dog that is not merely a pet but learns and performs tasks to assist and/or entertain its human companions, or a breed of such origin.
Some might argue that the variety of often exclusive canine jobs is a better justification for the dog's honorary title "man's best friend" than the more accidental popularity as the most popular kind of pet in Western cultures.
