A
has an unhappy time
💡 Explanation:

The idiom 'lead a dog's life' means to have an unhappy, oppressed existence with no freedom. The man's wife controls everything he does, so he's miserable. 'Eats what he can' and 'goes everywhere on foot' are too literal; 'never sleeps' is not related to this idiom.
