slang for a crony, a lapdog, someone who follows your wishes blindly
tuta
a servile follower, flunky, lackey

The word tuta does not sound cute in Tagalog the way the word 'puppy' does in English. It is partly because of the slang connotation. It's very insulting to be called the tuta of someone you're loyal to. They're saying you don't have a mind of your own.
