Dogs were of great importance in Celtic culture, as they played an important role in Celtic life as protective and guard animals, but also as hunting companions. In Celtic stories and legends, dogs are also often companions of gods and heroes and sometimes even have magical healing powers or a connection to the Otherworld.
