Why isn’t it “sick as a man” ? Are dogs really difficult patients?

I actually Googled it because your question made me curious:

The origin of the phrase 'sick as a dog' can be found in the early 1700's, when it was common to compare undesirable things to dogs. The explanation for this isn't that people didn't like dogs, it is that diseases such as the plague were often spread via animals like rats, birds, and unfortunately, dogs.

Are you trying to say men are more prone to be sick than women? wither woman? LOL LOL


No but when men get a cold it’s brutal. So I can’t imagine a dogs cold being worse than that.
