I don't really understand why people say 'I've been working like a dog' when they mean to have been working hard... Actually dogs do not work, do they? Anyway, I've been working like a dog, and now I'll be sleeping like a log. :D

Also, it does not have a song: "It's been a hard day's night, and I've been working like a dog ..." 路 2 years ago
Maybe a better saying is "work like a hardworking human being" but that doesnt quite roll off the tongue I suppose 路 2 years ago
Some dogs are more useful than others, it depends on breed and training. As the great Ron Swanson once said "Any dog under 10 pounds is a cat, and cats are pointless" So yeah a pug with 30 genetic defects and breathing problems isnt gonna be getting much done besides eating and sleeping, but a trained hound can help with hunting and herding 路 2 years ago
You're right. So, from now on I'll just change a little the proverb and start saying "I've been working like a sheep dog". 路 2 years ago
As a dog owner, I must comment here that dogs do herding on farms, pull sleds, help with hunting, detect things by smell e.g. at airports, and guard property, among other jobs. 馃惗
Of course, dogs also sleep like 12 hours a day, so... 馃檪 路 2 years ago
