Symbolism: Fidelity. Loyalty. Watchfulness. Orthodoxy. There are many examples of the faithfulness of dogs, such as the story of Saint Roch, when caring for those afflicted by the Black Plague, Rocco himself become ill and was banished from the city. He took refuge in a nearby cave and as he lay dying, a dog faithfully brought him bread every day and licked his wounds, healing them.
St. Bernard of Menthon’s monks kept and trained enormous dogs to care for lost and imperiled pilgrims trying to get to Rome. The dogs were trained to lie down on top of the stranded pilgrims to keep them warm with their body heat. The monks even attached little kegs of brandy to the dogs' collars in the mistaken belief that liquor would warm the frozen victims. The dogs came to be called “Saint Bernards.” The saint is always depicted with one of these magnificent, vigilant beasts next to him.
St. Martin de Porres was so loving and kind to all of God’s creatures, he fed every stray dog and cat he came across. He is the Patron of strays and those who care for them.
St. Tobias, of the Book of Tobit, is depicted as traveling with a dog as he goes about God’s business. (Tobit 11:4).
