I worked like a dog and now I’m dog tired…

Maybe I need a nip of the hair of the dog.

Here's a funny one.

Every dog has its day - meaning everyone has their time in the limelight, their period of success or power.

But compare the Arabic (and Hebrew) saying that has the opposite meaning:
Every dog's day will come (Kul kalb biji yomo - كُلّ كَلْب بِيجِي يُومُه) - meaning every evil person will get there punishment some day.

Interesting @Noam Bergman. But the dog still gets his idiom.

Oh yeah--you can't dog-ear a Kindle. That might cause any old bibleophile to have a hang-dog appearance. But kids these days would certainly know how to screw the pooch.

There is only one riposte.

I don't really mind the subject matter, and I suppose playing the piano like a jackhammer is concordant with the song's topic, and she does say dogging a lot, so I guess there's that. But is it art? After a fashion, bloody hell yeah.
