    Use `list("dog")` – Dani Mesejo Nov 24 '21 at 17:41

Strings are iterable: each element is a single-character string.

for c in "dog":
    print(c)

d
o
g

list takes an arbitrary iterable as an argument, and creates a list with one element per value from that iterable.

>>> list("dog")
['d', 'o', 'g']
