Could also be a reference to the film Kujo, where a dog infected with Rabies terrorizes a mother and her child.

That is what he just wrote?

Keaton was one of three close friends of Dot who were murdered in the Summer of 2013, as recounted in various interviews and the Noisey special “Bompton: Growing up with Kendrick Lamar”. These and other traumatic events, occuring just as K.Dot was blowjng up in the wake of GKMC and “Control”, were likely as formative on the album as the Africa trip and the surge of publicity around the Black Lives Matter movement and the Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown killings. The whole album functions as a universalization of Lamar’s personal struggle into a meditation on the past and contemporary struggle of Black America for liberty. As such, whereas Alright dealt with white supremacist police violence and the temptation powerful blacks faces to endorse the status quo and sell out their people, Hood Politics exemplifies the internal violence blacks in the ghetto and the rap industry direct against each other as a product of their “institutionalization” under racial and economic oppression.
