Answer:
The 'dogs' were once worshipped as 'gods' in Egypt.
Explanation:
Anubis was likely the most well-known of the several dog-headed gods that the ancient Egyptians worshipped. Anubis, who is also known as the "Master of Secrets" and "The Dog Who Swallows Millions" due to his role as the patron god of embalmers and keeper of cemeteries, was originally pictured in full canine form in the earliest Egyptian records. However, over time, like other Egyptian deities, he adopted a human body and only retained his animal head. In funeral rituals, the Egyptian dog-god also had a significant influence. The opening of the mouth rite involved holding the coffin and mummy upright while another priest caressed the deceased's mouth with holy objects so they might breathe and speak once again in the afterlife. A priest wearing an Anubis mask would participate in this ritual.
Thus, we even went as far as to worship some of the first civilizations as powerful deities.
