plural noun

Is dog one word, or two ( a noun meaning 'a kind of animal', and a verb meaning 'to follow persistently') ？ If we count it as two, then do we count inflections separately too ( e.g. dogs= plural noun, dogs= present tense of the verb).

Dog究竟算一个单词还是两个（名词指一种动物，动词指长期跟随）？如果算作两个，那么我们是否也要把它的变型也单独计算（例如：复数名词dogs，第三人称单数现在时dogs）？
