i think this song is about loss and dealing with loss. Palomar loves his dog, but he has to let it go when the he runs off with another dog. I think the dog is a metaphor for children, or a relationship where you have to let the other person go. "Love is thicker than brains" is a great line, meaning that you must follow love whether it makes sense or not (in this case Palomar is leaving a good life with easy food).
