    The “dogs” are the Canaanites. There’s lots good to be said about the character of Jesus, but this verse is straight-up nationalist.

      The point of that story is that the woman is right. He does heal her, and is like “dang, even this Canaanite woman believe in me more than y’all do.”

      It’s a great story, because the point is that Jesus is wrong and being a dick, and gets called out for it.
