狗腿 meaning fawning or sycophantic is idiomatic here in Taiwan. This usage has been in place for at least decades. The MOE's dictionary does not reflect the real usage here in Taiwan. This is also a major problem with most Chinese dicitonaries. In this regard, English dictionaries basically do a much better job.
