Sayyiduna Usama bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and saw signs of sadness on him, so I asked what had happened to him. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Jibril (peace be upon him) has not come to me for three days. When it was checked, a puppy was found in the house of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered it to be killed. Meanwhile, Jibril (peace be upon him) appeared before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). When he (peace and blessings be upon him) saw him, he rushed towards him in happiness and said: Why did you not come to me? He said: We do not enter a house in which there is a dog or pictures.
