It’s an old phrase from back when most dogs did work. They were normally farm or hunting animals and worked all day everyday for little reward!
You are probably right Cheryl. It makes sense. I have not heard this expression in my life
That is not why that is said here in the US. It’s lazy folks who say that because they really don’t want to work. They want a simple easy job which requires the bare minimum thanks for sharing Cheryl
It will still be where the saying originated from.
I just know it refers to being extremely overworked. Not sure where it originated from.
Black people lol
I must admit I have never heard that expression!
I def have just means you’re doing extremely way more than you want to do thanks for sharing
First time I have heard that expression too. Good question and but I can not give you the answer sorry.
