Let's think about this for a moment.
Calumny towards dogs appears to be rampant.
Common Sayings
Only Mad Dogs and Englishmen go out in the mid-day sun
Dog Days of Summer
Film titles
Reservoir Dogs
How to Kill Your Neighbors Dog
Straw Dogs
Why pick on ever-faithful dogs while others of the animal kingdom are lauded. Check out the Lion King or even (see my title) Night of the Iguana. In that last film, the never-faithful iguana is set free; the former was so popular that a Broadway musical was created based solely on a children's cartoon.
In short, although mankind claims that his--or her--dog combines the qualities of companion, physician, and valued family member, the idiom of the English language suggests otherwise.
I recommend that people carefully examine their speech habits and frankly, mend their ways.
