In chapter 9 of Luke Christ sends his disciples out to preach the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick. Verse 5 states that “And who ever will not receive you, when you go out of that city, shakeoff the very dust from your feet as a testimony against them. Where is the Faith in God!
I believe Jesus was testing her faith and she was rewarded by her answer by Jesus telling her the demon has gone from her daughter. At the time Jesus was preaching to the Jews, the reference of the dogs probably means the gentiles.

Phillipines 4:6-7 be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; (7) and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds thru Christ Jesus. He has changed my life and I am very thankful.

These two verses come to mind when reading your post. John 3:20-21. For” every one practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. (21) BUT he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”
NKJV. Ephesians 2:8-9. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, (9) not of works, lest anyone should boast. Other enlightening scriptuer, 1John 2:2 and Romans 10: 9-13
