Beware of the Dogs is the debut studio album by Australian indie pop musician Stella Donnelly, released on 8 March 2019 by Secretly Canadian.

Across the record, Donnelly lyrically confronts issues including toxic masculinity, rape culture and her experiences with sexism from working in hospitality.

For example, "Old Man" was written at the beginning of the #MeToo movement, when she felt "the world chang[ing] right before her eyes" as the "men who had exploited their power for so long were actually being held accountable for their actions".

[8] Her songs also observe Australian culture and criticise nationalism, with "Season's Greetings" about an awkward Christmas party in the summer heat, and "Tricks" calling out items like Southern Cross tattoos and the Kyle and Jackie O Show.

"[1] Olivia Horn of Pitchfork wrote that Stella's music is "empathetic to the core", and praised her "impressively dexterous voice, which she puts to work in service of some of her album’s most winsome moments.
