Yes, but sweating like a pig is better.
One simile in "Touching Spirit Bear" by Ben Mikaelsen is "The storm is like a roaring beast, shaking the earth with its fury." This simile illustrates the power and intensity of the storm by comparing it to a fierce and uncontrollable animal.
Sweating like a Pig" to denote sweating profusely. This sounds illogical, as pigs have ineffective sweat glands, but the term is allegedly derived from the iron smelting process. After pouring into runners in sand, it is allowed to cool and is seen as resembling a sow and piglets, hence "pig iron". As the pigs cool, the surrounding air reaches its dew point, and beads of moisture form on the surface of the pigs. "Sweating like a pig" indicates that the pig has cooled enough to be moved in safety.
As loyal as a dog waiting for its owner at the door. As friendly as a dog wagging its tail. As protective as a dog guarding its home. As energetic as a dog chasing after a ball.
That phrase is a simile because you used like. Any comparison using like or as is a simile. "He was as big as a mountain" is a simile. You could make it a metaphor by saying Jenny's voice is a bird singing a beautiful song. :D
"Limped like a wounded animal."

No, if something is "like" something else, it is a simile.
As soft as silk
Tom works like a dog mowing the lawn
This is a simile, as it compares the quietness of the dog to its maximum level.

Well its when there feet get wet or when there paws are sweating is when they can track footprints. Like if you dog steps in made then you will see dog prints.
"He was sick as a dog".
