The song's lyrics are based on the band's feelings towards Australia's political position of the time.[1] Musically, "Like a Dog" is strongly influenced by Ian Haug (guitar and backing vocals) and his love of Iggy Pop. "Like a Dog"'s video starred Anthony Mundine in a "raging bull" type sequence.[2] Paul Williams - "Rose Against the Odds" also makes an appearance in video.
