For the past weeks I've been trying to help a stray dog near my friend's office who was abandoned and abused by people (thrown with stones). The area was a muslim neighborhood.
I was curious as why do these people (muslims) have such hatred towards dogs..while animals are all created by Father SATAN. And animals are our helpers too, we are not supposed to treat them bad/abusive.
I found out some muslim scriptures about the association between dogs and angels. According to the muslim people, if a family has a dog in the house, then the angel of allah will refuse to visit.
Here are some scripts I found regarding this:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are two hadith from the most important collections for one billion Sunni Muslims:
Bukhari Volume 7, Book 72, Number 833:
Narrated Abu Talha : The Prophet said, "Angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog or there are pictures."
Muslim Book 010, Number 3811:
Jewish teaching believe in association between a dog's howling & angel of death
The Jewish belief was that the howling of dogs () betokened the presence of the angel of death, or death itself in the vicinity
Here is what their prophet muhamad said :
Abdullah (b. Umar) (Allah be pleased with them) reported: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) ordered the killing of dogs and we would send (men) in Medina and its corners and we did not spare any dog that we did not kill, so much so that we killed the dog that accompanied the wet she-camel belonging to the people of the desert.
Mohammad thought dogs were devil possessed.
From Islam Q&A: Ruling on having a dog
According to Islaamic Sharee'ah, it is not permitted to keep a dog except within narrowly-defined limits, as the Prophet explained: "Whoever keeps a dog, his good deeds will decrease every day by one qeeraat (a unit of measurement), unless it is a dog for farming or herding." Dogs are extremely naajis (impure, unclean). Keeping dogs nowadays is the habit of the kuffaar (infidels), who adopt them as friends, kiss them, let them lick them and their clothes, sleep with them and even leave them money in their wills. Keeping a dog is an imitation of the kuffaar. Some Muslims may claim that they need to keep a dog at home for purposes of protection, to which we respond that nowadays there are burglar alarm systems and other measures one may take for security purposes, and there is no need to keep a dog, praise be to Allaah.
JUDAISM & XIAN BIBLE VIEWS
Even Jesus called a Canaanite who begged his mercy as a gentile dog.
Proverbs 26:11 that say
As a dog returns to its vomit,
so a fool repeats his folly.
According to Rabbi Shraga:
The Talmud does say that it is forbidden to keep a pet that will scare other people, and specifically mentions a barking dog. This is but one example of the Torah's sensitivity to other's feelings.

The dog is the most shameless of animals ( , Ex. R. xlii.); he was one of those who would not abstain from cohabitation in the Ark (Gen. R. xxxvii.). The Mishnah (B. Ḳ. vii. 7) forbids the keeping of dogs unless they are chained; in cities, near the seacoast or the frontier, they may for safety's sake be let loose at night (B. Ḳ. 83a). According to Tosef., B. Ḳ. viii. 17, and B. Ḳ. 80b, the raising of small Cyprian dogs is allowed. These seem to be the little dogs (κυνάρια) that "eat of the crumbs which fall from their master's table" (Matt. xv. 26, 27).
In the time of the Amoraim the ordinary dog does not appear to have been regarded as ferocious; for it is said: "One should not raise a bad dog [] in the house, this being a transgression of Deut. xxii. 8, 'Thou shalt not bring blood upon thine house'" (B. Ḳ. 16b, 46a: compare Shab. 63a; Yer. B. Ḳ. vii. 6a, with reference to Job vi. 14, Hebr., where is interpreted as λαμὸς= "dog"; see Krauss, "Lehnwörter," s.v.). "A dog before the house withholds kindness from one's neighbor, because no one can enter the house."
The Jewish belief was that the howling of dogs () betokened the presence of the angel of death, or death itself in the vicinity
"Dog" is also the synonym in rabbinical literature for shameless and relentless people, and therefore for wicked heathen. The time of general degeneracy is a time when "the generation will have the face of the dog" (Soṭah ix. 15). R. Joshua ben Levi compares the righteous to the guests invited to the king's table, and the wicked heathen to the dogs who obtain the crums that fall therefrom (Midr. Teh. to Ps. iv. 8, based upon Isa. lvi. 10, 11). R. Ishmael b. R. Jose called the Samaritans dogs, as "being as adhesive to idolatrous customs as the dog is to the flesh of carcasses" (Gen. R. lxxxi.). Just as the dog must be beaten by the master, so must the wicked be smitten by God (Ex. R. ix., with reference to Ps. lix. 7; compare Sanh. 109a: "As the dog scents food from afar, so do the wicked scent the bones of the rich for pillage"). The epithet "dog" used for heathen in the New Testament (Matt. xv. 26; Phil. iii. 2) is explained hereby; but the statement of Eisenmenger, "Entdecktes Judenthum," i. 714-716, that the Jews call non-Jews (Christians)

My questions are :
1. What is the exact truth behind this attitude/resentment towards dog shown by muslims & jews? Is there a story behind it?
