Wow I really think you are over-analizing this song.

He IS talking to his (ex) girlfriend he calls her mangy mutt cuz he is upset,

causing ALOT of contraversy at the time

like some one to day would curse at the person leaving them, and driving them mad

but yes he is talking to his lover, not dog.

@NadiaSvetzlana You are missing the part about "they'll throw you in the ASPCA you mangy mutt" That only happens to animals hence ASPCA, this is about an animal leaving him.

@TheCoroner Not necessarily. The ASPCA could serve as a metaphor of the singer wishing some traumatic misfortune would befall the one who left him.
