Some dreamers may see animals being led on leashes, which are held on by owners who they recognize. For instance, a woman may dream of her ex-boyfriend holding onto a leashed dog/ cat. This dream image is powerful. The leashed animal may be a dream symbol representing the former partner, who was controlled tightly. In this case, that partner was you. This dream imagery may also be predictive of the kind of events that could happen in the future. The ex maybe holding onto another relationship that is unequal and has elements of bondage.
]]>The dog that bites the hand which feeds it is a modification of an idiom to describe an ungrateful person who does an act of perjury to their benefactor. For example, we may feed domestic pets but the animal may turn against us and bite us. Sometimes, the aggression is caused by illness, irritation, violation of its boundaries, rabies or some other reason. Humans who turn against their helpers are described as ungrateful and biting the hand that fed them.
