Morphology

poochie = pooch (semi-transparent) = pooch + ie

The affectionate nickname sense is formed with a familiar diminutive suffix, but the extension from 'dog' to a person-as-term-of-endearment is somewhat idiomatic.

Etymology

Poochie comes from pooch ('dog') plus the small or cute ending -ie, like in doggie. So it sounds loving and playful, which is why people use it as a pet name for a child or partner.
