chǒng

to love

to pamper; to spoil; to favor

roof (宀) + dragon (龙) = to pamper under one's roof

The roof radical 宀 suggests a home or shelter; keeping something precious under one's roof captures the idea of cherishing and spoiling it. 龙 mainly lends the chǒng sound rather than a dragon meaning.
