In the Darkness of City Blocks
There is a known sacralized attitude to the wolf, the dog among the Indo-European peoples in
period before the adoption of Christianity. At the same time, among the ancient Jews, the dog seemed to be the most contemptible creature, "the enemy of man." In the Old Testament, dogs feed on carrion and may devour corpses. The adoption of Christianity changed the attitude of the peoples who adopted it towards the wolf and the dog. Heretical texts were burned, heterodoxy was punished, which explains the fact that after the widespread spread of Christianity, information about werewolves and similar phenomena is very scarce.
