Rabbi Gordon - Ki Teitzei: 4th Portion

My Yeshiva Rabbi explained 2 interesting things about dogs.
1) Dog is Hashem's name backwards (in English). When you give food to a dog, its nature is to eat and eat more. Give me, give me, give me. Hashem's nature is the opposite. I give you, I give you, I give you.
2) On the other hand: Dog in Hebrew is kelev. Which is made up of 2 words - kol lev - all heart. Your dog doesn't care if you brushed your teeth or took a shower or look messy or smell funny. He accepts you as you are. He will help to lift your spirits. The expression is: "A dog is man's best friend."

On the other hand: It's not a thing for Frum homes to have a dog. Reply
