"Dog Eat Dog" is a song by Australian hard rock band AC/DC. It is the second track of their Australian album Let There Be Rock, released in March 1977 (see 1977 in music), and was written by Angus Young, Malcolm Young, and Bon Scott.
"Dog Eat Dog" is also the second track on the international version of Let There Be Rock, released in June 1977.
The single Dog Eat Dog included "Carry Me Home" as a b-side.
The song speaks of humanity's greed, self-centeredness, and general desire to win at the expense of others, but does not overtly cast judgment on the situation. It also reminds listeners that "every dog has its day" and that everyone has the same chance of winning or losing, implying that someone you're beating one day may well be beating you the next.
