Tips

usage
Internet slang built on 单身狗 'single dog', a joking name for a single person. A couple who 秀恩爱 in public is 'scattering dog food' for the singles around them, and the singles who have to watch 吃狗粮, 'eat the dog food'. It is used jokingly, most often by the singles themselves.
mistakes
撒 is read sǎ here, 'to scatter' as when sowing seed, not sā 'to let go'.
