Dog & Butterfly is the fourth studio album by American  band , released on October 7, 1978, by , following a legal dispute with  over the release of the band's second studio album, , in April 1978. Dog & Butterfly peaked at number 17 on the US  and has been certified double platinum by the  (RIAA). The album spawned the singles "" and "".

As Heart themselves noted on the album's release, side one was the Dog side, and was the more "rocking" compared to the Butterfly side two, which consisted mostly of ballads, with the exception of the closer "Mistral Wind".

Though the first song, "Cook with Fire", sounds like a live recording, the liner notes to the 2004 CD reissue state that it was actually recorded at Sea-West Studios along with the rest of the album. Audience sounds from a live performance were overdubbed on the studio recording.
