When a Dog's Life is Over

It's a Dog's Life

The origin of the catchphrase 'It's a Dog's Life' is obscure.  One of the earliest popular reference is Charlie Chaplin's 1918 film called 'A Dog's Life'.  There is also a well known 1955 film by Herman Hoffman, this title include the It's - 'It's a Dog's Life'. 

The phrase is so evocative of the downtrodden hero, that it's perfect for Charles M. Schulz's Snoopy.  It's a dog's life has also inspired music and also T.V. episodes of popular programs such as 'Murder She Wrote'.

 Is it a Dog's Life Anymore?

There was a time when dogs weren't allowed in the house.  Dogs were fed scraps and if they were lucky they had a kennels.  Thus a whole family of sayings arose around 'It's a dogs life'.  For example, going to the dogs, dog tired,  dog's dinner, dogsbody and dog eat dog.

However, nowadays, dogs have it cushy, they live indoors are pampered with dog food, and even get their own dog basket.  In consequence the young generation are perplexed by the saying, 'It's a dogs life'.

Walking the dog - In verse

Here is a verse from the song composed and performed originally by Rufus Thomas and later made famous by The Rolling Stones in the 1960's.

'Walking the dog
I'm just a walking the dog
If you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk the dog.'

 Walking my baby back home

'Walking my baby back home' is a popular song written in 1930 by Roy Turk and Fred Ahlert. Later it was a big hit in 1951 sung by the inimitable Nat King Cole.   This is how it goes....

Gee, its great after bein out late
Walkin my baby back home
Arm in arm over meadow and farm
Walkin my baby back home
