Luke 16:21

and he longed to eat his fill of the scraps from the rich man's table. Even wild dogs came and licked his sores.
[When they touched him and licked his sores, he became ritually unclean. The text may also have a deeper spiritual meaning. The weak and poor were denied spiritual food by the Pharisees. Similar language is used in Matt. 15:27 where the Canaanite woman says that even the dogs eat the crumbs from their master's table, although a different word for dog is used there.]
