“Don't keep a dog and bark yourself" is a 16th-century English proverb advising against hiring or delegating a task to someone, only to do the work yourself. In simplest terms, it means it is wasteful and inefficient to pay for assistance if you do not utilize it. It originates from Brian Melbancke’s 1583 work Philotimus: The Warre Betwixt Nature and Fortune.
