Description:
The Maya domesticated their dogs for household pets and hunting animals. They were raised for food, a heat source (hot water bottle) and sacrificial animal. The god Quetzalcoatl or Feathered Serpent's twin brother was called Xolotl. He was believed to help guide souls through Xibalba or the underworld. The esquintla wears an Aztec heart amulet around his neck.
