Dog:
an animal frequently mentioned in Scripture. It was used by the Hebrews as a watch for their houses (Isaiah 56:10) and for guarding their flocks (Job 30:1). Then also, as now troops of hungry and semi‐wild dogs used to wander about the fields and the streets of the cities, devouring dead bodies and other offal (1 Kings 14:11; 21:19; 21:23; 22:38; Psalm 59:6) and thus became so savage and fierce and such objects of dislike that fierce and cruel enemies are poetically styled dogs in Psalm 22:16; 22:20. Moreover the dog being an unclean animal (Isaiah 66:3) the epithets dog, dead dog, dog's head, were used as terms of reproach or of humility in speaking of one's self (1 Samuel 24:14; 2 Samuel 3:8; 9:8; 16:9; 2 Kings 8:13).
