Dismissed like a dog. Damon groped for his jacket behind him, found it, and wished that his groping for his sense of humor could be as successful. The faces around him were all the same. They could have been carved in stone. But not stone as hard as that that was coming together again around his soul. That rock was remarkably quick to mend–and an extra layer was added, like the layering of a pearl, but not covering anything nearly so pretty. L.j. Smith
About This Quote

The use of the phrase, "dismissed like a dog" is an example of how people treat one another without regard to their feelings. The phrase is an allusion to dogs being treated as its inferiors. Devoid of any thought or consideration, people just walk all over others. It's an attitude that has no value for the person who is being treated this way.

While dogs are seen as inferior, there is no reason to appoint dogs as superior to humans. People should be commended for the way they treat others, not scorned for their actions.
