“How do I track what my dog is doing online, using a webcam” is probably how it is being interpreted.

That is because the question was structured a little bit awkwardly and AI isn’t smart enough to understand the question’s real intent.

It boils down to using grammar effectively. I would try something like: “How do I use a webcam to remotely monitor my dog” or something along those lines.

For what it’s worth, learning to restructure questions into more concise statements also really helps you get better results from search engines.

I don’t actually know anything but how to find the answer to your problem

This makes sense. Otherwise o e will replace " my girlfriend" with "my dog" and will get instructions how to track online activities of another person.

Yeah, that’s how it works
