They both mean the same, it's just a matter of style, so to speak; you can use whichever one you like best
If the cat is anything like my little Frida Kahtlo, it'd be more like "RUN DOGGY!!!"
This has nothing to do with Italian HOWEVER! Frida Kahtlo?? Love it so much!
i read the following and believe it is true: Verso & di is used only with pronouns or personal names. eg verso di lui translates as toward him. It said if something moves say toward the house it would verso la casa NOT verso di la casa. Same seems to be true for contro.

I used "walks" instead of "goes" and it was marked wrong. Is it really that much of a difference?
Could it be translated as "walks" instead of "goes"? Can the verb andare mean to walk? And can dogs actually walk, or should another verb be used in English? Thanks a lot!
I keep getting this wrong because i am saying "the dog MOVES toward" not GOES towards. Is there really a big difference?
I use 'walks'. Gets me every time... I think both of them should be allowed here.
What is wrong with walks? Maybe one does not say that animals walk in English, I'm not sure.
Against implies disagreement (against war), or contact as you move, causing friction (against your skin).

The dog is approaching the cat at a normal pace The dog is increasing speed DOG IS FAST, I REPEAT, DOG IS FAST THE DOG IS APPROACHING CAT AT ALARMING SPEEDS
I think that would be "to the cat", meaning it does arrive there.
In this sentence, however, it does into the direction of the cat but is possibly stopped before arriving there.
Can this be used as "near?" The dog goes near the cat. Or is verso more direct to "towards?"
Would it be correct to translate to English as: "The dog goes after the cat"?
