Is this correct? Also, does "¿Qué me crees?" mean "What do you think I am?"

ACTUALIZADA:

Desafortunadamente, no estoy satisfacido con estas respuestas hasta ahora. Seguro que he visto los siguientes varias veces:

"Se creen hipster" y el contexto dice que significa "They think they are hipsters." Pero no sé si es una abreviación o es categoría gramatical.

También he oido "¿Qué me crees?" y también el contexto dice que significa "Who the heck do you think I am?"

Más ayuda por favor.

This is from the dictionary.

creerse pronominal verb 1. (considerarse)

se cree Dios = he thinks he's God 

So given this example, you may be correct in the meaning of: me creo perro.

But I have never heard anyone express something like this. The other answers in this thread are more common.

I agree "Me creo perro" is "I think I am a dog". This is a common structure in Mexico. Have you repaired your boat yet? - 005faa61, Oct 3, 2014
F. Scott Fitzgerald quote: He thinks himself rather an exceptional young man. So the type of construction is not unknown in English either. :) - bosquederoble, Oct 3, 2014

I would definitely also say:

  • "Creo que soy un perro."

You should always remember the "que" when constructing sentences like "I hope that, I fear that, I wish that and so on.

I not so sure about "What do you think I am?", but I would probably translate it as

  • "¿Qué crees que soy (yo)?" or "¿Qué piensas que soy (yo)?"

Creo que soy un perro. (Do you really think that you are a dog? HAHA!) Joking! : )

¿Que tú crees que soy yo?

"What are you really trying to say here?"
