“Who let the dogs out?” Many are familiar with this famous song, but does anyone know who let the dogs out?

“I think an old man let the dogs out based on what I saw in the music video,” said Antioch Community High school sophomore Carlie Gaylord.

She believes the dogs represent girls, and that girls are looked at in a more negative way. As in, “who let all these girls out of their place.”

According to the app “Rap Genius,” this is what “who let the dogs out” means, “The dog here is presumably meant to be taken as sexually active men.”
