Dogs in Greek/Roman culture?
#4
It's recorded that hunting dogs from Ireland were prized too.
There are also numerous tombstones to pet dogs.

(Beware the 'war dogs' idea - it seems to be much mentioned in Rome: Total War and other games, and is commonly bandied about by Rottweiler breeders etc, but I have yet to see one single mention of such dogs in the ancient texts...)
