That's a quote from the poem "The Highwayman," by Alfred Noyes. It means that when they shot the highwayman, they were comparing him to a dog laying there on the highway, like he didn't matter.

"Down like a dog on the highway" is a phrase used to describe someone who is feeling defeated or overwhelmed. It suggests that the person is in a vulnerable or low position, like a dog lying down on a highway where it is dangerous and exposed.
