No, This song was written by a Florida folk-style songwriter who died prematurelyin the late 80's or early 90's -- his name is on the tip of my tongue -- I remember his widow was named Mary -- dang.

Don't pet the dog
Don't pet him whatever you do
He ain't been fixed, and he knows some trick
That'll sure make a fool out of you.

Don't pet the dog
He gets it confused with romance
tum tee tum tum, and the next thing you know,
He'll be taking your leg to the dance.
