An Internet search for the origin of the expression “work like a dog” returned only speculation as to the time period the phrase was first used. Certainly, it was long before Lennon and McCartney used it in the song A Hard Day’s Night in 1964. Dogs were the first domesticated animals that were put to work—pulling milk carts, for example—for their human masters and from that era surfaced other sayings such as “a dog’s life” (early 16th century) and “dog tired” (1800s).
