The notable sixteenth century [[Jew]]ish leader, the Maharsha, says that a dog is a creature of love. Hence, the [[Hebrew]] name for a dog is "kelev" which is etymologically derived from the words "kulo lev" or "all heart"... Now remember that [[Adam]] and [[Eve]] were instructed by God to give all the animals of the world their Hebrew names ([[Genesis]] 2:19-20). When they made this personal connection with the beasts of the world, the names they chose were prophetically accurate so as to encapsulate the essence of each animal into a name that truly revealed its soul. (Bereishit Rabbah 17:4). Thus, one may extrapolate from this that the Hebrew name for a dog was precisely chosen to be indicative of the loving soul of this marvelous creature.<ref>[http://www.aish.com/sp/ph/Does-God-Love-Dogs.html Does God Love Dogs?] by Rabbi Levi Welton, Jan 4, 2014</ref>}}
