"Dog and Butterfly" is a song recorded by the rock band Heart. It is the title track to the band's fourth studio album Dog and Butterfly and was released as the album's second single. The song is a more subdued effort from the band, and differs from past hard rock-oriented hits, as Ann and Nancy Wilson pulled from their folk music influences. Although it charted moderately in the U.S. in 1979, peaking at number thirty-four on the Billboard Hot 100, "Dog and Butterfly" has been cited by music critics as one of the group's best recordings [1].
