'Going to see a man about a dog' is an often used a euphemism in Great Britain. It is most often used when telling someone you are going to the toilet. It has also been used to describe meeting a woman for sex i.e - when you replace the 'man' and 'dog' in the sentence with their opposites 'woman' and 'cat' (but in this case we use another word meaning cat, 'pussy') so you end up with 'going to see a woman about a pussy.'
