Kicsit régi téma, de most jutottam hozzá, tényleg kutya a Rover, az alábbiak szerint Noel Redding anyjának a kutyája:

The main lyrics in this song ("Let me stand next to your fire") came from a time when the band had just finished a gig in the cold around Christmas, 1966. They went to bass player Noel Redding's mother's house. When they got there, Jimi asked Margaret, the mother, to "Let me stand next to your fire" so he could warm up. They had a German Shepherd that way laying by the fire, which inspired the line, "Move over Rover, and let Jimi take over."

és egy mondóka is létezik:

“Old Mrs Hubbard went to the cupboard to fetch old Rover a bone when she bent over Rover took over and gave her a bone of her own”. – vagyis beakasztott neki hátulról a Rover kutya

elég egy malac zenekar volt ez az Experience:)
