The Walking Dead: Small But Major Moment Indicates Dwight's True Allegiance
Fans of The Walking Dead have been expecting Dwight's defection against Negan for some time now. [...]
The Other Sign
Amidst the chaos in Alexandria in the Season 7 finale of The Walking Dead was another important and intriguing clue regarding Dwight's allegiance.
Daryl found a little wooden figurine with a message written on it. The message read, "Didn't know." The significance of the little wooden figurine and its message, is simple: Dwight left it for Alexandria to find.
Dwight has been seen carving these figurines in the past. However, this particular figurine appears to be the one Daryl saw in Dwight's room when he escaped the Sanctuary in the midseason 7 finale.
"Didn't know," likely means that Dwight was unaware of the fact Jadis and her team were going to turn on Rick in favor of Negan. It might also mean he was unaware of Negan's upcoming assault on Alexandria which took place in the Season 7 finale.
In either of the aforementioned cases, it means Negan did not make Dwight aware of these factors, indicating a lack of trust from the Savior leader to his go-to guy.

In The Walking Dead comics, Dwight does, in fact, betray Negan in favor of Rick Grimes. At one point, Dwight goes as far as saving Rick's life.
Spoiler-y details follow...
During the All Out War story line, Negan covers all of his weapons and ammunition with zombie guts. It is a move which ensures any enemy struck by Savior weapons will die, whether or not the initial wound was enough to kill them otherwise. Then, they become weapons within the Alexandria walls.
When Dwight and Negan get a clear shot at Rick, Negan orders the burnt-faced Savior to take the shot. Dwight does, striking Rick with an arrow in his abdomen, but using a clean arrow to ensure his survival.
