Leo’s dog seems identical to Tobit’s faithful companion in the painting, which also depicts the Angel Raphael, Tobit, and a fish in a basket that is crucial to the story. I’m not sure if the other figure is Tobit’s father or his father-in-law, but I am thinking the former.
The Book of Tobit is regarded as canonical in the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Traditions and is included with several other Apocrypha, usually placed between the Old and New Testaments. Some Protestants regard the Apocrypha as valuable for the lessons they contain, but they don’t hold them to be canonical. The Apocrypha is not considered canon literature in the Jewish faith either.

I don’t trust anyone my dog doesn’t trust. They need to get the “Good Sniffer Seal of Approval.”
