Pet paw prints are so associated with mud that people associate the paw prints emoji with dirt in general.

And, sports teams with dog or cat-themed mascots also like to use the paw prints emoji to express team spirit and pride. Plus, the paw prints emoji is occasionally used to express athletic footwork, like dribbling in soccer.
