So John and the boys did some early gigs as Johnny and The Moondogs right? And in Dig a Pony, John says I dig a moon dog.
The moon dog is Managarmr, a wolf of Norse mythos. The name translates literally as moon dog. Managarmr chases the moon and swallows it.
Managarmr is an anagram for MR ANAGRAM.

"And Jet (Paul's dog), I thought the only lonely place was on the moon."

Well, now that you mention it, Wikipedia says this: "The song is about his black pet horse called Jet but there are claims it may also be about a black Labrador he had, also called Jet." At the time, the story was that Jet was a Labrador retriever puppy, but we know how inconsistent stories out of MPL are.
