dog

The dog is the emblem of faithfulness and guardianship. Dogs are considered loyal and temperate and the dog is a symbol of a skilled hunter. They were also associated with priests since priests were thought of as watchdogs against the devil. There are many different types of dogs blazoned on coats of arms. The leverer or levrier is the oldest name. Another is the talbot, which describes an English hound. Also found though, are bloodhounds, greyhounds, mastiffs, spaniels and terriers. Dogs are symbols of courage, vigilancy and loyal fidelity.
