Did somebody say corny Christian lore? Well no you didn't but let me talk about some saints:
Rupert of Salzburg is the patron saint of dogs. Yes we have one (there's even a separate one for hounds/hunting-dogs: Hubertus)
St. Jude is the saint for hopeless cases.
Kuno: against illnesses of any kind in pets.
Eustachius is the saint of sad family situations. No really. (also of plumbers, drapers, hunters, traders, Paris, Madrid and against dangerous insects. No I don't know either)
Dionysius of Paris, Dominikus of Sora, Hubertus od Lüttich, Vitus & Walburga are all against dogbites. Not sure why there are that many and why one of them couldn't e.g. have done plumbing instead.
Johanna Maria de la Maillé is for/against legal trouble
Julianus of Brioude is an 'avenger of perjurers' (and incidentally the all-round go-to saint for deaf, blind, lame and mute people)
Catherine of Alexandria, Lucia, Yves and Nikolaus of Myra all do saint-duties for lawyers. Lucia additionally also for the blind.
My personal favourite is Rita of Cascia another hopeless-cases saint but because she isn't busy enough with that also for exam-worry and sausage-making.
