Dogs (the Who song) praises its "soaring melodies, interesting chord changes and irresistible hook lines" and particularly praises "one really tremendous descending melody" at the 2:28 mark. Atkins claims that it is "probably the most underrated song ever released by The Who" and goes so far as to state that it "can be seen as a masterpiece of 1960s pop." On the contrary, author Mat Snow described the song as "amusing and zany but melodically unfocused." Dogs (the Who song) "Dogs" is a UK single written by Pete Townshend and released by the Who in June 1968. It reached number 25 on the UK
