In this picture from the beginning of the 20th century, you can see knife grinders or so-called “yellow bellies” (this name was given to them because of the yellow dust from the grinding machine). Lying on their bellies, the workers kept their backs safe. The dogs were not only good company to the workers but also warmed them up by lying on the legs of their hosts.
