Example (NASA's Curiosity Rover Eyes Weird Rock On Mars):
"We found an outcrop named Missoula where the two rock types came together, but it was quite small and close to the ground," Curiosity project scientist Ashwin Vasavada, of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, said in the same statement. "We used the robotic arm to capture a dog's-eye view with the MAHLI [Mars Hand Lens Imager] camera, getting our nose right in there."
How do you understand this phrase?

This is a common construction, though we don't usually use "dog".
"bird's-eye view"

"bug's-eye view" or "worm's-eye view"

So, knowing these two (three) common terms, you should be able to guess that a "dog's-eye view" is a view from the point of view of a dog, about one or two feet off the ground.
