dogging
Relentlessly pursuing someone
Dogging is pursuing relentlessly or persistently: Injuries have been dogging him all season.
The image is of a dog tracking prey.
In British slang, dogging refers to watching or engaging in sexual activity in public places, typically car parks, often with strangers—a practice that emerged with internet coordination.
