If you dragged it out of the /Applications folder (or a subfolder there), then it’s probably OS X doing the same thing as if you tried to drag it to the desktop - it makes an alias by default.
Maybe when dragging it to the dock you have to hold the Option or Command key down like you do when you want to copy something out of the /Applications or its subdirectories. Probably better to open it and set the options to keep in dock. It’s one of the little things I’m not sure I want to know the answer to. My head is already pretty cluttered - not sure where I’d put this info.
