In the discussion of creation of  adam (the word for man) the Bible seems to suggest (Genesis  1:20--The man gave names to all the cattle, all the birds of the air, and all the wild animals; but none proved to be the suitable partner for the man.) that woman (who was given a proper name--Eve) was made because the man/adam did not find adequate companionship with all the animals.  And Eve was shown by the writer as a subordinate character, that is the female sex.  And we hear so often that the dog is man's best friend.  You just can't trust anything you hear.

I for one, am glad Adam didn't settle on a dog as a "suitable partner."
