Description:
A seated dog with human attributes sits looking up. The dog, considered man's best friend, was brought to the New World from Asia about 20,000 years ago. Mesoamericans used him as an alarm system, hunting buddy, a meal as well as a pet. Religiously, he guided the dead on their journey through the underworld to their final resting place.
