The answer is $22 would be given to the dog.
The amount of money given to each animal is based on their number of legs, with each leg being worth $5.50.
A duck has 2 legs and was given $11, = $5.50 per leg.
A spider has 8 legs and was given $44 = $5.50 per leg.
A bee has 6 legs and was given $33 = $5.50 per leg.
You can apply the same rate to the dog, which was 4 legs, so 4 x $5.50 per leg = $22.
