I'm suprised that everyone on here seems to think that this song is about a dog. Despite being such a happy tune, I have always believed this song to describe something really sad. I think this song was written about E's sister, who suffered from schizophrenia and depression. She started to accept her illness and live happily for while, but then her "beloved monster" destoryed her, ultimately motivating her to commit suicide.
