I totally love this song! It captures what I like the most about Stereolab. When you read the lyrics in English, it just kind of falls flat, and sounds dull and boring. But when you hear the words sung in French, its sounds incredible. It really opens up the song and makes me think more about the point of what she is saying. Obviously there is more to it than just her dog: "guided by his appetite / he's forgotten what his purpose is" but then, she just ends it on a suggestion of "but this time I can see him /he's bringing something back". And that's it. Nothing else. We don't know what that something is. So then your imagination has to fill in the gaps.
