What an a—hole the person in this song is, shooting the dog in the last verse. FOOK HIM ! ! !

@froderik

I think the "dog" is actually the singer himself - as he contemplates suicide after his wife/partner leaves. He sees the kitchen table and he reflects on their time together and how their sweet dreams are now gone. Now, he just stares at the dust generated by the truck that is taking her away.
