Thanks for all the good tips!

I've only been able to find St. Dominic's icon from Monastery Icons. I've read about their background, but I haven't seen anything "heretical" in any of the icons I've found on their website.

For my taste, I wish the St. Dominic icon pictured the dog holding a torch in his mouth and sitting next to St. Dominic.

I love the symbolism: the fire of his zeal for souls.

Me too Paul - I would love to find one with the dog at his side. I've heard that this symbolism comes from a Latin pun - Domini canis - the Dog of the Lord! smile
