Bible

Ahab and Jezebel prophesied to to be eaten by dogs

The LORD told Ahab through Elijah the Tishbite, "In the place where dogs licked up the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick your own blood."'" (1 Kings 21:17-20) And He told Jezebel, "The dogs shall eat Jezebel within the walls of Jezreel.' Anyone belonging to Ahab who dies in the city the dogs shall eat, and anyone of his who dies in the open country the birds of the heavens shall eat." (1 Kings 21:20-24)

So the king died, and was brought to Samaria. They washed the chariot by the pool of Samaria, and the dogs licked up his blood, and the prostitutes washed themselves in it, according to the word of the LORD that he had spoken. (1 Kings 22:37-40)

Judging dogs

Do not give dogs what is holy, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you. (Matthew 7:6)

Yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters' table

A Canaanite woman from Tyre and Sidon came to Jesus for healing for her daughter who was severely oppressed by a demon. Jesus ignored her and told His disciples He was only sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. But she came and knelt before him, saying, “Lord, help me.” He answered, “It is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs.” She said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters' table.” Then Jesus answered her, “O woman, great is your faith! Be it done for you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed instantly.

(Matthew 15:21-28)
