    I am huge yet small.
    Smallest planet but bigger than a house

    I am a dog yet not a dog.
    Pluto was a cartoon dog

    I am last yet sometimes not.
    Pluto sometimes crosses inside Neptune's orbit

    I am a god yet not.
    Pluto was a Roman god but not a greek (or vice versa)

    YES!!!

    Beach has to have it right this time.

    Damn, I didn't even think of that.

    It was the sometimes last and sometimes that I didn't get with regards to Sirius, but it makes sense with Pluto 'cos of the cross with Neptunes orbit.

    Damn, outsmarted by a Bum!

    I gave the riddle to the Review Department

    I am huge yet small.
    I am a dog yet not a dog.
    I am last yet sometimes not.
    I am a god yet not.

    And they came up with the answer "Shepherd/Shepard"

    with the obvious correlations of
    BigMaleHuman vs SmallBorderCollie

    a shepard dog (german) vs a human herder of sheep

    the shepherd animal will sometimes work as the leader of the sheep herd entering the paddock, sometimes as a follower moving the sheep along.

    The German Shepard has never been considered a god (as opposed to cats, for instance), but the analogy of Christ as a shepherd is ubiquitous.

    A good answer, but by adding a 5th line: "I am not bound by any human language", it preserves the Pluto answer.

    I still thought it a good attempt
