It alludes to an episode in the Old Testament, Genesis 24, when Eliezer has been sent to Mesopotamia by Abraham to find a wife for his son, Isaac, and when he arrived in Nahor in Chaldea he prayed that whoever gave him and his camels water would be an eligible woman. The dog in the picture is an Helian Spinone.&quot;</font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
