Its a figure of speech. As the dog you are the alpha being unkind to someone else (the hydrant) and some times when what usually goes around comes around, you are like the hydrant, having someone being unjust or unkind to you. The metaphor is created out of the event of the Dog urinating on the fire hydrant. Your the one peeing on someone or your the one getting peed on by someone. As I said its life, what goes around comes around (omg i just introduced another figure of speech into this). Lol in life sometimes you get peed upon (ppl can be real butt holes). I hope my explanation makes sense. Its hard to get it from the brain to they keyboard.

HAHAHAHAHAHA sometimes you can be on top of the world and succeeding and sometimes youre at the bottom of the barrel and alls lost- i.e. the dog is powerful in peeing on the hydrant and in comparison if youre the hydrant, it explains the way you feel- youre being peed all over ....

Look at it this way, if you're the dog, you can go as you please,but if you're the hydrant,well, life is gonna' be a little rainy.

SOMETIMES YOU ARE THE GOOD IN THE SITUATION (THE DOG IS HAPPY THAT HE IS PEEING) AND SOMETIMES YOU ARE THE BAD IN THE SITUATION (THE HYDRANT IS GETTING PEED ON)
Another quote that means the same thing is "sometimes you're the bug, sometimes you're the windshield"

It means that some days you're the one having a good day and pissing on others and taking advantage of others...and some days you're the one being pissed on and being taken advantage of.

I've never heard that particular one, but if you can't figure it out, you really are dense.
