working like a dog

Sacked out on the sofa all day.

"Man, I've been working like a dog", he muttered into the phone, his feet up, eyes on the game, the bag of Doritos on his chest almost empty.

Work like a dog

To work like a dog means to do regular work on the Sabbath.

Please do not work like a dog on God's holy Sabbath.
