A Dog's Life is a 1918 American short silent film written, produced and directed by Charlie Chaplin.

Edna Purviance plays a dance hall singer and Charlie Chaplin, The Tramp.

[3] Charles Lapworth, a former newspaper editor who had met Chaplin when he interviewed him, took a role as a consultant on the film.

He tries to steal food from a lunch cart and is nearly caught by a police officer, avoiding arrest by doing some fancy rolling back and forth under a fence.

Charlie is ejected from the cabaret for having no money and returns to his normal outdoor sleeping spot.
