Dogs, Hounds, and Werewolves Part 7

Divine Dogs and Shamanic Companions

Beneath the shadow of monsters and the terror of wolves, there runs a deeper, older current: the sacred bond between humans and dogs. Long before the dog became a demon or an omen, it was a companion to priests, prophets, and gods—a helper on spiritual journeys and a guide through the mysteries of life and death. Across cultures, from the Siberian steppe to the Egyptian sands, dogs and their wild kin have walked side by side with those who traffic in the supernatural.
