…These dogs guard the path taken by the dead on their way to Yama's palace, and although the dead must pass through the place at full speed, they are also said to come to the human world as Yama's messengers to bring those who are near death to their masters. The great goddess Sedna, worshipped by the Eskimos as the "mother of the sea creatures," also has a strong connection with dogs. According to myth, she was originally a human girl who lived alone with her father, but no matter how much her father urged her to marry a human husband, she continued to refuse, and finally married a male dog, left her father, lived on a small island, and gave birth to many children, some of whom were dogs and some were humans. … From [Sea God]…Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea, is said to cause and calm storms and to lead naval battles to an advantage, so he is more of a god of navigation and war than a god of fishing.
