What does MAN stand for? Why the dog motif?
MAN = Maschinenfabrik Augsburg- Nürnberg (Machine Works of Augsburg and Nürnberg)
Isn’t it a wolf?
DOG = MANs best friend 
It’s a dog of 
a motor
The “dog” is actually a Lion, and it came about as a result of MAN taking over Bussing in the 1960s. Bussing’s trade mark was the Lion, and to appease those operators who ran Bussings and threatened to go over to the competitor Mercedes product the Bussing Lion was added to the MAN motif
I hope that helps,

There you go, this takes it even further back, from Sanders in Augsburg to today.
In 1898, the companies Maschinenbau-AG Nürnberg (founded 1841) and Maschinenfabrik Augsburg AG (founded 1840) merged to form Vereinigte Maschinenfabrik Augsburg und Maschinenbaugesellschaft Nürnberg A.G., Augsburg (“United Machine Works Augsburg and Nuremberg Ltd.”). In 1908, the company was renamed Maschinenfabrik Augsburg Nürnberg AG, or in short, M·A·N.
