a lucky dog" means you are a lucky person. And "every dog has its day" means each person has good luck
sometimes. To describe a person"s serious illness, they say "sick as a dog". The word"dog-tired" means very
tired. However, Chinese love cats very much. But in western culture,"cat" is often used to describe a woman
