    Actually from what I have read, only a dog's saliva is considered unclean (in islam)but the entire dog, aside from this, is not cursed. In fact wealthy muslims raise Soluki's for racing and protect the blood lines. This breed of dog is kept in tents with their owners because they are so prized.

    A dog's saliva is not unclean; there are beneficial antibodies in a dog's saliva that will heal wounds.

    So you must ask her where she heard this.
