Not even for write.
So you're saying that if you write write right, you don't write write right. But if you write write wrong then you do write write wrong? However, if you write right right you write right right, and if you write right wrong you also write right wrong. Right?

I read it in its literal context about a rescued dog, but I wonder whether it's also used as we normally use it in everyday language for "to leave early"?

I'm not sure if this counts as a joke or not, but here's Abbott and Costello and Covid:
Costello: I just want to know who’s up next for the Phillies.
Abbott: The Blue Jays.
Costello: When?
Abbott: Friday.
Costello: In Toronto?
Abbott: No, the Blue Jays are playing their home games in Buffalo this season.
Costello: So the game is in Buffalo?
Abbott: No, it’s in Philly.
Costello: So the Phillies are the home team?
Abbott: No, they’re the road team.

A mathematician has spent ten years trying to prove the Riemann hypothesis. Finally, he decides to sell his soul to the devil in exchange for a proof. The devil promises to deliver a proof in four weeks. Half a year later, the devil shows up again - in a rather gloomy mood. "I'm sorry", he says. "I couldn't prove the hypothesis either. But" - and his face lightens up - "I think I found a really interesting lemma..."
