What does it mean when someone calls you a puppy?

When someone calls you puppy, it is said as a good thing, that you are cute, small, and cuddly, like a puppy. it doesn't necessarily mean to be calling you some sort of animal, in a weird way. I think it's kind of cute, like kitty or kitten as well. So, being called puppy is basically saying you're like a cute little puppy, or sweet and submissive, etc.
