I was told by a Muslim colleague that in Islam it is believed that an angel will never enter a house where there is a dog, so demonic are they.
Muhammad didn't like dogs.
Depending on which source you believe, he ordered all dogs to be killed. But then he changed his mind and allowed guard dogs and hunting dogs, but not if they were black, as black dogs were of the devil.
The story, again depending on which source you believe, of the angel is that Gabriel had told Muhammad that he would meet him, because he had another important message to pass on. But Gabriel didn't show up, and Muhammad decided it was because there was a dog, or a picture of a dog, in the house - hence the dog killing.

Barbara Maura Lane is said to have become obsessed with Alfred Douglas after signing up for a magic course. Mr Douglas is a world-renowned expert on tarot cards and the occult.

He said his uncle eventually had 'big bolts' put on his bedroom door to protect himself. Mr Douglas later told officers he had to wedge a chair and piles of books against the door after Lane broke the lock by battering her way into his bedroom one night.
He described how she stood at the foot of his bed smirking before throwing books at him. Despite this attack in March last year, he decided not to call police.
But relatives feared for his life. Mr Wilson-Patterson's wife Anna said: 'We thought we'd visit and find him dead at the bottom of the stairs... she was like a succubus [demon].' Things came to a head on Coronation Day last May when Lane, an Irish republican, flew into a rage on seeing a portrait of the King and Union Jack bunting in Mr Douglas' shop.
She is said to have punched the elderly shop manager before turning on Mr Douglas, smashing up his greenhouse and pushing him out of his home. When his family arrived to help, Lane is alleged to have hit Mr Wilson-Patterson and thrown hot tea over his wife."
