CLASSICAL GREEK ANIMALS - Dog

DOG 
Lailaps was a magical dog which was destined always to catch his prey. He was set to hunt down the Teumessian Fox, a monstrous beast which was destined never to be caught.  Zeus, pondering the dilemma of the unmatchable fox being chased by an inescapable hound placed them in the heavens as the Constellations Canis Major and Minor. In so doing he froze their contest or set it to play out for eternity in the heavens.
