In this song "dog" is taken to mean a sexually active male, presumably the singers themselves. The use of onomatopoeia ("woof") skillfully disguises this in a euphemistic fashion. Further canine-themed wordplay is evident in the song, such as when a female at a party rejects the singer's sexual advances, calling him a "flea infested mongrel," as well as the singer's pun about a dog having a bone, which yokes the image of an actual dog chewing an actual bone with a sexually active male having an erection ("bone" is vernacular for this). Furthermore the singer hypothesizes about himself in canine form, saying "I can't see color/any color will do0," which makes sense since dogs are known to be colorblind but it is also implied that the singer is colorblind in the sense of being non-racist. Despite his seeming inability to get a woman as he wishes, he nonetheless enjoys the party.
