Eating Poetry Question-Characters

Is the author actually a dog in the poem? Also, is it supposed to be kind of scary with the dogs and the dim lights. Are the dogs mad? Demon fire dogs?

The dog is merely a human (man) acting like a dog. In my opinion, the dogs exist only in the man's mind. I do not believe the lighting is meant to scare us, but rather, illustrate the passage of time.
