If your dog is lost, you don’t look for an hour and call it quits. You get your ass out there and you find that fuckin dog!

Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker insists that a lost dog deserves real, sustained effort rather than a token search. Giving up after an hour is treated as unacceptable, and the crude, forceful phrasing demands that the listener get out and keep looking until the animal is found.
