The English language is ambiguous. Take, for example, two common idioms we use in our daily lives: "It's a dog's life" and "Work like a dog."
Dogs are able to laze around and sleep all day, according to "It's a dog's life" refers to them being able to laze around and sleep all day. Most dogs are companions. When the next vet visit is, they are concerned about the most important part of our family's life. On the other hand, "work like a dog" implies just the opposite. It means that you will be able to perform at your highest level for a long time. How can these two words refer to our canine companions when they mean contradictory things?
The phrase "work like a dog" becomes abundant when considering the training working dogs received and the value they added to farms and businesses. They carried out tasks with a purpose because of their obedience and tenacity in rooting out rodents or securing cattle.. Today, military and rescue dogs receive intensive preparation and work hard alongside their human counterparts.
