Dogmeat, Ever Loyal is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.
Official card text
When Dogmeat enters, mill five cards, then return an Aura or Equipment card from your graveyard to your hand. Whenever a creature you control that's enchanted or equipped attacks, create a Junk token. (It's an artifact with ", Sacrifice this token: Exile the top card of your library. You may play that card this turn. Activate only as a sorcery.")

- #1· Wizards of the Coast
The card you return with Dogmeat's first ability doesn't have to be one of the cards you milled with that ability.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
You can't sacrifice a Junk token to pay multiple costs. For example, you can't sacrifice a Junk token to activate its own ability and also to activate the second ability of Junk Jet.

- #3· Wizards of the Coast
You pay all costs and follow all normal timing rules for the card played from exile with a Junk token's ability. For example, if the exiled card is a land card, you may play it only during your main phase while the stack is empty.

- #4· Wizards of the Coast
Some spells and abilities that create Junk tokens may require targets. If each target chosen is illegal as that spell or ability tries to resolve, it won't resolve and none of its effects happen. You won't create any Junk tokens.
