A small #dog with a gigantic #history and, as we can imagine, an ego just as gigantic as its descendant. Next time you see a Chihuahua, remember you are looking at the heir of an ancient guardian of #pyramids!
And... all about #Techichi history in my #book MIGRATION.
I wrote about these little dogs—and their heirs—in my book MIGRATIONS. From Toltec tombs to modern sofas, their journey is anything but small. 📚 #DogHistory #Techichi #Chihuahua #Zooarchaeology #Mesoamerica #MIGRATIONS
They’ve identified small dog bones at four sites on the Gulf of Mexico coast, dating back to the Late Preclassic (300 BCE–300 CE). Tiny dogs. Ancient bones. Big implications. #techichi

So I wanted to go to my ancestors for this one. My Tata always talked about us being from Aztec descent so I felt it fun to draw the ancestors of my old childhood Chihuahua. It was fun to research and learn about. Also fun to draw.
