Doggy Lyrics
Dog of height in the trees
Won't you come down doggy
Such a sweet doggy
I brought you your dinner
My doggy i miss you kissing from my
I remember when i first got you doggy
But you lay there so still doggy
You lay there
So still
Dog who fell to the ground
Twisted your neck doggy
Don't look right doggy
The vet came with sutures
He said, Dave,
Hey, the doctor cannot save your dog
But I remember when I first got you, dog
You lay there so still, dog
You lay there so still
Dog of depth in the dirt
They buried you deep, doggy
You’re the best doggy
My friend has a doggy
She's a real nice dog
I wish you could chase her round my yard
I remember when I first got you, dog
But you lay there so still doggy
You lay there so still
Won't you come down doggy
Such a sweet doggy
I brought you your dinner
My doggy i miss you kissing from my
I remember when i first got you doggy
You lay there
So still
Twisted your neck doggy
Don't look right doggy
The vet came with sutures
He said, Dave,
Hey, the doctor cannot save your dog
You lay there so still
They buried you deep, doggy
You’re the best doggy
My friend has a doggy
She's a real nice dog
I wish you could chase her round my yard
You lay there so still

When I first saw the lyrics to this song while listening to it, I cried for about an hour. It always breaks my heart when an animal dies, because they're just so loving and honest. I know that my dogs, too, will die someday and it just pierces me deep inside. The lyrics of this song are especially saddening because you can see the process of the dog's end. First there's something wrong with him and the singer doesn't know what to do, he tries everything, thinking the dog can "come down" from whatever the matter is, but then the dog suddenly takes a fall and plunges into an irreversible dilemma. The singer is left helpless and is forced to cope with his friend's unfortunate end. Every pet owner knows that someday this will happen, but it's still a shock when it does. Afterward, all that is left are memories, and all you can do is grieve.
I know, then you start remembering when you first got them as a little puppy, how afraid they were of their new home, they'd just lay there shivering and still. This song hurts deep.

I'm pretty sure it says:
The VET came with sutures He said Dave The doctor cannot save YOUR dog
"I don't think this is about his dog. I think this is about him finding a dead dog perhaps." - I'm gonna go ahead and disagree with you on that one, based off this lyric: "The vet came with sutures/He said, 'Dave, Hey, the doctor cannot save your dog.'"
I think everyone is taking this song too literally... Did anyone find it odd that: The dog somehow found its way high in a tree. He's pleading for the dog to come down. He went out to the forest to give his dog dinner. The dog "slipping" or accidentally falling is not mentioned. The song mentions a vet, but he says ultimately the "doctor" could not save the dog.
I interpret this song as a friend or loved one committing suicide, with the dog acting as a metaphorical representation. In the "real" story, avey brings his friend dinner because he knows he/she is depressed, and finds them on a high surface threatening to jump. He tries to get them down, but he/she jumps, breaks their neck, and the doctor cannot do anything to help.
The line "I remember when I first got you, dog" could be referring to when they met. The lyrics about seeing another dog and wishing they could chase them around could simply mean that avey is still thinking about his late friend.
He probably used a dog as symbol because of the innocent connotation of the animal or to convey the special relationship they had ("You're the best doggy" - You're the best friend).
@benmorph imo the song is meant to be taken literally, reflecting the innocence of the speaker, and that innocence and real and relatable topic of the death of a beloved pet makes it even more heartbreaking.

this song makes me sad.
it comes from a very child-like viewpoint, and its just really a bummer. really good song, great lyrics.
same. it reminds me of my friend's dog passing.

i used to think of this as a happy song before i saw the lyrics
now it depresses me
This song is amazing. The meaning is obvious, and you can almost hear the childhood innocence in the singer's voice.
How unbearably sad. When I hear this song, I picture an out-of-focus sunset in autumn.
I recently had to put my dog to sleep and this song always reminds me of my dog, can't listen to it very often.
this makes me want to cry
