People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well. 1 However, dogs without owners to care for them lead a d
45、ifferent kind of life. The expression, to lead a dog s life, describes a person who has an unhappy existence. Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world. 2 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 peopl
46、e dog-tired. And, the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog. 3 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 older people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things. 4 People who are unkind or uncaring can be described as meaner than a junkyard dog. Junkyard dogs live in places where people throw away things they do not want.
