The javadoc for SpanFirstQuery says it is a special case of SpanPositionRangeQuery so maybe you can use the latter directly, although you might need to know the position of the last term which might be a problem.
Alternatives might include reversing the terms and using SpanFirst or adding a special "thisistheend" token to each field and using SpanNearQuery for dog and thisistheend with suitable value for slop and inOrder = true. Or take the last term and index it in a separate field so you can just search for lastterm: dog. -- Ian.
