In the above dog-related tweet, 犬 seems to be spelled as 'イッヌ' rather than
'イヌ'. Is the presence of 'ッ' a typo or is it a stylistic choice? If it's not a
typo, are there circumstances where you should use write ッヌ instead of ンヌ in a
word?




It's Japanese equivalent of the word
[doge](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/doge) and doggo(thanks to @naruto). It's
a slang for a word 犬/イヌ, that was born in famous Japanese BBS, 2ch.

So no, you shouldn't be using this word in normal conversation. You can
however, use this word in a tweet like that.
