Thank you. Jesus never called her a ‘dog’. This ‘pastor’ needs to know her Bible and study the very words of Scripture.
In Matthew when Jesus traveled up to Tyre and Sidon he referred to a woman as a little puppy. He was stating that He came to God’s people to work miracles and manifest His glory and the Father. The gentile, in faith, responded that even the little puppies get to eat the crumbs that fall from the table.
He healed her daughter, her faith showed that she believed He could heal and the Father would get the glory for the healing.

And Jesus said the woman had “great faith”. One of only three times that Jesus used that description of someone’s faith. I believe that woman (not the woman at the well) was very happy to have encountered Jesus. Of course, the women at the well was also happy to have met Jesus. She went and told everyone in her town about Him and they all went out to see Jesus.
