That's an interesting quote, but I think it's got a ton of problems as a metaphor.
(1) Not all startups grow up.
(2) It wouldn't be socially acceptable to repeatedly get a new puppy and give it away when it's a dog. In business this practice is acceptable if not encouraged.
(3) Dogs don't live forever.
