Saint Sithney ("Sezni") (date unknown [http://www.saintpatrickdc.org/ss/0804.shtml] ) is the patron saint of mad dogs.

A Breton folk story [http://www.saintpatrickdc.org/ss/0804.shtml] , an adaptation of a tale associated with Ciarán of Saighir [http://www.saintpatrickdc.org/ss/0804.shtml] , states that God asked Sithney to be the patron saint of girls seeking husbands, but Sithney said he would rather be the patron saint of mad dogs and get some rest.

He is the patron saint of Sithney, Cornwall, England and is invoked for help against rabies and mad dogs and for healing of mad dogs. He was also venerated at Guissény, Brittany. [http://www.saintpatrickdc.org/ss/0804.shtml]
