To the Bible scholars out there...

Looking for some insight, perspective, and conversation on:

a)The story of the Syrophoenician Woman in Mark 7:24-30. More Specifically, why did Jesus refer to this woman and her daughter as dogs?

b)What are the implications of Jesus comparing himself to the serpent lifted up in the desert (John 3:14) by Moses (Numbers 21:9), when it was a symbol that Hezekiah righteously destroyed later on as an object of false worship (2 Kings 18:4) ?
