I’m sure not advocating cruelty to dogs, just providing a little context that an ancient semitic distaste for dogs did not start with the Arabs or Muslims. And the anti-dog sentiment is not universal. I know a Muslim guy who likes his pet dog as much as any native-born American.

Uhh - as Muslims are known for sexual activity with small livestock, does the dog look anything like a goat?
