Re: The 5th Veda - Mahabharata

In the final days of the pāṇḍava's , they headed on their final journey. During this travel a dog accomplanies them. He continues as each of the pāṇḍava fell to earth, dead. Yet yudhiṣṭhira and the dog continued the journey.
We find that the dog happens to be dharma personified. Something I find interesting, why did veda vyāsa use a dog to symbolize dharma ? If I were writing this epic I would have suggested an elephant or a white bull, but why a dog?
