Dogs didn't necessarily live "a dogs life" back in yesteryear. However, when the family pet got an ailment, he (or she) was the center of attention. Dogs were subject to cuts, scrapes, fights, poisons, snake bites, falls, and sicknesses just like people. There were no vets back in those days. Home remedies and TLC got most of them past their problem times. A soft bed, some cover, lots of sleep and some food made up of a concoction from the kitchen usually did the trick. Nobody wanted to think of life without Rover, so nothing was too good for him when he was down.
