My dog's gone to that big boneyard in the sky.

Does big yard mean here "a heaven separated for dogs"?

Question

Answer

So for example a KFC fan might have their passing away referred to, slightly humorously, as "They have gone to the great KFC in the sky..."

For dogs, who like bones, you example would be perfect!

A sports fan might similarly "have gone to that great stadium in the sky..." as a way of personalising the heaven for that person... or in this case animal.

Answer

It is FOR dogs.  It is dog heaven.

Do not be thrown off by the word “separated”.

A glass for wine= Wine glass.

Look for the ADJECTIVE PREPOSITION “for” with the Object NOUN or purpose of:

for

Object NOUN = Heaven

for

ADJECTIVE PREPOSITION = DOG

for  =  +
