English term or phrase: hot diggity dog
Hot diggity dog. Thanks for getting us out of the doghouse

Nuevamente, es una tarjeta de agradecimiento. Lo de out of the doghouse lo interpreto como haber perdonado a una persona (haciendo referencia a la cucha del perro)

Algo de ayuda? Gracias a todos!!!

in the doghouse significa "estar en mala situación". Thanks for getting us out of the doghouse: gracias por la ayuda. La figura del perro en la tarjeta alude a la expresión be in the doghouse.

doghouse ['dɒghaʊs] n US fam caseta del perro, perrera
figurado to be in the doghouse, haber caído en desgracia: my sister is in the doghouse for having been late to dinner, a mi hermana le están pasando la factura por haber llegado tarde a cenar

Gracias por...


Explanation:
Veo bien dificil una analogia perfecta. Se envia a alguien al doghouse para castigarlo. El perrito funciona perfectamente en ingles pero en espanol no hay frases con la palabra perro que expresen una idea igual. Lo que te sugiero es porque podria funcionar para las dos tarjetas sobre las que has preguntado

Example sentence(s):
  • (Expresion de emocion que se use en Argentina). Gracias por librarnos de un castigo.
