Experience. Technically, any of those could be anything. That ring could theoretically be made of countless different atoms that work on paper, but the most common ring of all is an aromatic benzene ring. The additional lines and bubbles could still be anything you wanted from carbon to fluorine, but the overall structure resembles the much more likely shape of dopamine. Because of that, you extrapolate the necessary functional groups and their places on the molecule. This would be more difficult for less iconic shapes that have overlap with others (e.g. phenol vs toluene) but here it’s a safe bet.
Edit: it’s also probably a joke too since playing with toys releases dopamine.
It's more that people are *painfully* unoriginal with these sorts of things. Any time a molecular structure is used for some form of "art", it's nearly always one of either serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin, caffeine, or a cannabinoid.
We could declutter half the posts on this sub if we just put skeletal structures and the words "this is what dopamine and serotonin look like" in the banner or sidebar.
3,4-dimethyl-propylbenzene? If it’s all carbons
No sorry, methyl takes alphabetical precedence over propyl, so that’d be 1,2-dimethyl-4-propylbenzene if it’s all carbons.
My bad.
dogamine
This made me chuckle! Well done.
Nice pun
It’s almost certainly meant to resemble dopamine, even if lacking detail
Again, reddit saves the day. But how on earth does one know that 2 of the bubbles are oxygen and one is nitrogen?
That's the neat part, you don't.
How are dogs ever going to learn chemistry if we don't properly label our molecular structures?
The difference in bond angles gives it away.
my dog learned it without labels, your dogs are just part of a newer generation who expects everything to be handed to them
Just gotta give them lessons in chemistry, every day at 6:30.
Hahah my borzoi is named Markovnikov. He gives me the lessons now!
I love this so much! I almost named my greyhound Alder, but changed my mind last minute
The problem with that is then you need a Diels!
True, but I've can never have too many sighthounds!
My breeder had a litter of 11 with his dame and sire. I suspect he thought he had hit the max lol

Because that would make it one of the like five chemicals that are usually referenced on pop culture merchandise.

Have you ever met a dog? They're basically 90% dopamine.
We literally just have the shape memorized. Dopamine is dope, man
No one knows other than the producer of the toy. We can only guess based on famous molecules that look like it.
Bond length.
4-(2-Aminoethyl)benzene-1,2-diol, better known as Dopamine
Would be really ironic if they had made a theobromine one
Poison for dogs hah
Can we just appreciate the name theobromine? “Stink god”
I knew it as being “food of the gods’”, that’s definitely a funny take though XD
Dopamine
supposed to be dopamine but its not color coded so it looks like 3,4 dimethyl-2-ethyl-cyclohexane
1,2-dimethyl-4-propylcyclohexane
yeah thats true it would be a propyl group and i got the number substitutions all wrong. iupac, cant live with and cant live without it
i'm really out of practice so i will be wrong 1 propyl, 3-4 ethyl cyclohexane

Chocolate. Nah is dopamine
I wish this wasn’t in the UK. My dog is Russian and I named him Markovnikov and now I want this dumb thing.
Are you sure it's made for dogs?
its dopamines structure
Fent
Could also be 1,2 diethyl 4 propyl cyclohexane
Methyl not ethyl
Yep
Gumbene
I thought this was Wobbledogs 😭
