Therefore I'm going to accept this answer. At the very least, it's a fighting game with a dog in it, which is what I assumed must have been the term's origin... | |

My memory isn't great... But this is still a very possible reference that the article could have been making, as you say, retroactively applying the term to Gon. | |

The OP doesn't say when they read the article in question, but if it was contemporary to that game, then this would be too new to qualify. But it's just as possible that the article is more recent and the term was just retroactively applied to Gon. | |
