This article is a good example of the belief system that prevailed in India since ages. In fact the earlier text on hinduism gives an account of how dogs were created by the Creator to live besides humans so they can protect the latter from the inauspeciuos omens which were causing high infant mortality rate in the human species. These omens are also explained in Vastu vidya as negative energies which only an animal like dog (with high capacity to read the harmonic frequency at both ends) could absorb and manipulate. This aspect is not just a myth or superstition but is explained scientifically in many hindu texts.
So since the begining of dogs’ existance on this planet, humans have identified their species as their protector and mates.
This temple which worships dogs is only recognising this aspect and function of the dog in the human world.
