"Shouldn't happen to a dog" hay "(something) shouldn't happen to a dog" là thành ngữ dùng để chỉ một việc gì đó tồi tệ, kinh khủng đến mức nó không nên/ không đáng phải xảy ra với bất kỳ ai/ thứ gì.

Ví dụ
In fact there is a great deal of mistreatment (ngược đãi), what happens to Michael Jeter’s character in South of Heaven, West of Hell for instance shouldn’t happen to a dog, but it does, quite frequently, to dogs and cats both.

Police are investigating a Florida woman who duct taped her pup's mouth (bịt mõm con chó lại) shut for barking — and then bragged (khoe khoang) about her cruel disciplinary techniques by sharing a picture of the suffering pooch (chó/ khuyển) online.It shouldn't happen to a dog.

In what is basically a one-hour monologue (bài độc thoại), Nate talks about his failures, jotting notes on a to-do list and reflecting on things that have happened to him that shouldn’t happen to a dog but in retrospect (nhìn lại) do not seem all that unusual.
