The problem is that most homilists and religious educators have forgotten or never learned, or don't believe the church's social teachings on work.
Various scholars and homilists have attempted to make this story nice--for example, Jesus was testing the woman because he recognized her strength of character; the two engaged in a mutual exercise of role-playing to teach the disciples a lesson; the exchange was playful and the dogs in question were puppies and pets.
Homilists - or experts in the art of religious discourse - argue that while it might be a popular view that no sermon is necessarily based on original thought, a priest should be encouraged to convey ideas in his own words to help foster better dialogue with his congregation.
