Is Arrow a dog species?
"Me and My Arrow" is a song written and recorded by American singer-songwriter Harry Nilsson for his 1970 album The Point!

The song was composed as the theme for Oblio, the pointless boy, and his dog, Arrow.

According to this, Arrow is just a name of the pet dog of the pointless boy.

Although I saw people talked "my Arrow". Is this a analogy/metaphor or there is a dog species Arrow?

There is no (official) dog breed named "Arrow". Have a look at the list of common dog breeds on Wikipedia or another list of dog breeds by DogTime. They do contain different breeds, but none of them contain any "Arrow".

The Wikipedia article you linked to states:

The song was composed as the theme for Oblio, the pointless boy, and his dog, Arrow.

Arrow is the name of the dog, not it's breed.

If you follow the link to the article "The Point!", you can read even more about Arrow.

Since the song "Me and my Arrow" was quite popular for a time, it's very likely that people use similar phrases as metaphors, references or analogies.
