Abstract
This article examines the attitude towards the dog exhibited in the corpus of seventhcentury BCE Assyrian letters. The image of the dog is ambivalent, denoting both its loyalty and submission and its potential for violence. Both these aspects are applied to human beings – tradition reaching back to the beginning of the second millennium BCE.
