Dogs are creatures named with “the vultures of the air” and “the wild beasts” that would “devour their flesh” after a generation was slain (Mosiah 12:2).
In one day, “it was left desolate; and the carcasses were mangled by dogs and wild beasts of the wilderness” (Alma 16:10). “Give not that which is holy unto the dogs,” and “neither cast ye your pearls before swine” (3 Nephi 14:6).
