　　Americans use many expressions with the word “dog”. People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well. They take their dogs for walks, let them play outside and give them good food and medical care. However, in other countries dogs without owners caring for them lead a different kind of life. The expression “to lead a dog’s life” describes a person who leads an unhappy life.

　　Some people say we live in a “dog-eat-dog” world. This means many people are competing for the same things, such as jobs. They say that to be successful, a person has to “work like a dog”. This means they have to work very, very hard. Such hard work can make people “dog-tired”. And the situation would be even worse if they became “sick as a dog”.

　　Still, people say “every dog has its day”. This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life. To be successful, people often have to learn new skills. Yet, some people say that “you can never teach an old dog new tricks”. They believe that old people do not like to learn ne w things and will not change the way they do things.

　　Dog expressions are also used to describe the weather. “The dog days of summer” are the hottest days of a year. A rainstorm may cool the weather. But we do not want it to rain too hard. We do not want it “to rain cats and dogs”.
