Lost Dogs is a double-disc collection of B-sides and other released and unreleased material. It also includes the hidden track "4/20/02" at the end of Disc 2; the song is a tribute to Layne Staley of Alice in Chains, written on the date that his body was discovered. A number of songs included on Lost Dogs differ from the originally released versions, including "U", "Dirty Frank", "Wash", and "Alone". Lost Dogs sold 89,500 copies in its first week of release and debuted at number 15 on the Billboard 200 chart. The album achieved gold status in the US.[1]
"Angel" (from the 1993 Christmas single) was supposed to appear on Disc 2,[2] but was deleted before release. There is still mention of it on the "lost dogs" flyers on the back cover. Besides "Angel", some notable omissions from the album include various songs only available on other Christmas singles by the band, "Long Road" and "I Got Id" from the Merkin Ball EP, and "Leatherman" from the "Given to Fly" single.

- "All Night" (Jack Irons, Jeff Ament, Stone Gossard, Mike McCready, Eddie Vedder) – 3:22
- No Code outtake.
- "Sad" (Vedder) – 3:39
- Binaural outtake. Slight lyric change in the opening line from the original version. Originally titled "Letter to the Dead".
- "Down" (Gossard, McCready, Vedder) – 3:15
- B-side to "I Am Mine".
- "Hitchhiker" (Vedder) – 3:17
- Binaural outtake.
- "Don't Gimme No Lip" (Gossard) – 2:35
- No Code outtake.
- "Alone" (Dave Abbruzzese, Ament, Gossard, McCready, Vedder) – 3:11
- Ten outtake. A different version can be found as a B-Side to "Go". This version has new vocals and slightly different lyrics and is shorter. Abbruzzese gets writing credit for this because it wasn't published until 1993 (when all members were getting equal credit), even though it was written a year before he joined the band. The music from this version is from the Ten Rough Mixes.
- "In the Moonlight" (Matt Cameron) – 3:07
- Binaural outtake.
- "Education" (Vedder) – 2:46
- Binaural outtake. The bridge features different lyrics from the original.
- "Black, Red, Yellow" (Vedder) – 3:26
- B-side to "Hail, Hail". This version is longer than the b-side version.
- "U" (Vedder) – 2:53
- B-side to "Wishlist". A different version from the b-side; the vocals have been re-recorded.
- "Leavin' Here" (Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier, Edward Holland, Jr.) – 2:51
- From the Home Alive compilation.
- "Gremmie Out of Control" (Jimmy Haskell) – 2:25
- From the Music For Our Mother Ocean Vol. 1 compilation. A "gremmie" is an inexperienced surfer.

- From the Music For Our Mother Ocean Vol. 3 compilation.
- "Undone" (Vedder) – 3:10
- B-side to "I Am Mine". Slightly different from the B-side.
- "Hold On" (Gossard, Vedder) – 4:22
- "Yellow Ledbetter" (Ament, McCready, Vedder) – 5:00
- B-side to "Jeremy". Not really a "lost dog," as it was a radio hit in 1994. The last note inexplicably cuts off.
- "Fatal" (Gossard) – 3:39
- Binaural outtake.
- "Other Side" (Ament) – 4:04
- B-side to "Save You".
- "Hard to Imagine" (Gossard, Vedder) – 4:35

- "Dead Man" (Vedder) – 4:16
- B-side to "Off He Goes". Originally intended for the Dead Man Walking soundtrack, but passed over in favor of Bruce Springsteen's "Dead Man Walkin'".
- "Strangest Tribe" (Gossard) – 3:49
- From the 1999 fan club Christmas single.
- "Drifting" (Vedder) – 2:53

- From the 1991 fan club Christmas single.
- "Last Kiss" (Wayne Cochran) – 3:17
- From the 1998 fan club Christmas single. Not really a "lost dog," as it was re-released as a single in 1999 and provided the band with their biggest hit to date.
- "Sweet Lew" (Ament) – 2:11
- Binaural outtake.
- "Dirty Frank" (Vedder, Gossard, Ament, McCready, Abbruzzese) – 5:42
- B-side to "Even Flow". This version is slightly longer and features quite a bit of the vocals removed. McCready also added a guitar on this version.
- "Brother" (Gossard) – 3:47
- "Bee Girl" (Ament, Vedder) – 9:55
