Don't worry about your dog, it most likely has nothing to do with it...!

Maybe the dog DOES represent a close friend in your dream.

The running "away" might mean that the friend is in some trouble again and might be too embarrassed to take your help and trouble you.

The pool may represent emotions and an emotional situation.
