The Bible has a bad connotation about dogs. It is often used as a slang word in the Christian religion, as a reference to man's morals and behaviour.
(Isaiah 56:11: "They are voracious dogs, they cannot be fed." Revelation 22:15: "Dogs are deceivers, immoral, murderers, and all those who love and practice unrighteousness will remain outside." Proverbs 26:17: "A stray dog is taken by the tail by one who meddles in another's quarrel." ...)
So the Bible does not refer to them as cute lapdogs, but considers them ritually unclean animals and their appearance always has a negative meaning.
However, the saying that 'dogs are man's best friend' has been firmly established since the fourth millennium BC. In much of the ancient world, people had a close relationship with their dogs that has remained unbroken to this day.
Opening speech by Attila Balázs, author

Óbudai Társaskör
Óbudai Társaskör is located in the old center of Óbuda in the neighborhood of the Royal Palace. The renovation of the neoclassic historic building – whose history goes back to ancient Roman times – was completed in 1988 by Ybl Prize winner Katalin Korompay. In the two decades since then it has become an acclaimed institution of the cultural and social scene of Budapest and even Hungary.
Óbudai Társaskör is home to the Budapest Strings, the Franz Liszt Chamber Orchestra, the Anima Musicae Chamber Orchestra and the Budapest Ragtime Band. These bands and orchestras perform at our programs regularly.
Classical music often mingles with literature in our programs – be it poetry or prose. However, the reverse is also true, music is a well received guest at literature evenings, book and audiobook launches.
