Most phrases in Chinese about the dog, for example ,“a homeless dog”, “a running dog” and “a dog catching a mouse”, have negative meanings.
But in western countries, dogs are considered honest and good friends of humans. In English ,people use dog to describe positive behavior example , “You are a lucky dog” means you are a lucky person. To describe a person，s serious illness ,they say “sick as a dog” The words about animals are used in positive or negative ways in different cultures. We can learn about many differences in cultures by comparing how certain words are used.
