Domain	Definition
Satire	DOG, n. A kind of additional or subsidiary Deity designed to catch the overflow and surplus of the world's worship. This Divine Being in some of his smaller and silkier incarnations takes, in the affection of Woman, the place to which there is no human male aspirant. The Dog is a survival -- an anachronism. He toils not, neither does he spin, yet Solomon in all his glory never lay upon a door-mat all day long, sun-soaked and fly-fed and fat, while his master worked for the means wherewith to purchase the idle wag of the Solomonic tail, seasoned with a look of tolerant recognition.

Bible	Dog frequently mentioned both in the Old and New Testaments. Dogs were used by the Hebrews as a watch for their houses (Isa. 56:10), and for guarding their flocks (Job 30:1). There were also then as now troops of semi-wild dogs that wandered about devouring dead bodies and the offal of the streets (1 Kings 14:11; 16:4; 21:19, 23; 22:38; Ps. 59:6, 14). As the dog was an unclean animal, the terms "dog," "dog's head," "dead dog," were used as terms of reproach or of humiliation (1 Sam. 24:14; 2 Sam. 3:8; 9:8; 16:9). Paul calls false apostles "dogs" (Phil. 3:2). Those who are shut out of the kingdom of heaven are also so designated (Rev. 22:15). Persecutors are called "dogs" (Ps. 22:16). Hazael's words, "Thy servant which is but a dog" (2 Kings 8:13), are spoken in mock humility=impossible that one so contemptible as he should attain to such power.

A surly dog. A human being of a surly temper, like a surly dog. Is thy servant a dog, that he should do this thing? (2 Kings viii. 12, 13). Hazael means, "Am I such a brute as to set on fire the strongholds of Israel, slay the young men with the sword, and dash their children to the ground, as thou, Elijah, sayest I shall do when I am king?"

"Beware of dogs" (Phil. iii. 2), i.e. sordid, noisy professors. Again, "Without are dogs" (Rev. xxii. 15), i.e. false teachers and sinners, who sin and return to their sins (2 Peter ii. 21).

"Nunc mihi, nunc tibi, benigna" [fortuna]. In German, "Heute mir, morgen dir." You may crow over me to-day, but my turn will come by-and-by. The Latin proverb, "Hodie mihi, " etc., means, "I died to-day, your turn will come in time." The other Latin proverb means, fortune visits every man once. She favours me now, but she will favour you in your turn. "Thus every dog at last will have his day - He who this morning smiled, at night may sorrow; The grub to-day's a butterfly to-morrow." Peter Pindar: Odes of Condolence. Give a dog a bad name and hang him. If you want to do anyone a wrong, throw dirt on him or rail against him. Gone to the dogs. Gone to utter ruin; impoverished.

Dean Swift says, "If you want to throw a stone, every lane will furnish one." "To him who wills, ways will not be wanting." "Where there's a will there's a way." Hungry dogs will eat dirty pudding. Those really hungry are not particular about what they eat, and are by no means dainty. When Darius in his flight from Greece drank from a ditch defiled with dead carcases, he declared he had never drunk so pleasantly before. It was the story of the dog and the shadow - i.e. of one who throws good Money after bad; of one who gives certa pro incertis. The allusion is to the well-known fable. "Illudit species, ac dentibus aëra mordit." (Down sank the meat in the stream for the flshes to hoard it.) Love me love my dog. "Qui m'aime aime mon chien," or "Qui aime Bertrand aime son chien.

"In the rabbinical book it saith The dogs howl when, with icy breath, Great Sammaël, the angel of death, Takes thro' the town his flight." Longfellow: Golden Legend, iii. The hair of the dog that bit you. When a man has had a debauch, he is advised to take next morning "a hair of the same dog," in allusion to an ancient notion that the burnt hair of a dog is an antidote to its bite.
