EUSTACE, the first patron saint of dogs, was a Roman by birth, and his favorite diversion was hunting. He had been a captive of the guard to the Emperor Trojan. His cult was largely confined to Southern Europe. In the north the tutuelary saint of dogs was St. Hubert. On November third of each year pilgrims would travel to the abbey in the Ardennes to receive the blessing on themselves and on their dogs. Miracles were often performed. Consecrated cakes were given to the hunting dogs as an antidote to hydrophobia. The hounds of St. Hubert (eleventh century) are what we would call bassets to-day. Much later, at the end of the thirteenth century, there was another patron saint of dogs—St. Roche. 211.
