Day of the dead for pets

Did you know Mexico honors it's pets on October 27 ??

Mexico’s Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebration held on November 1 and 2 to honor the departed would not be complete without the xoloitzcuintli. Often present at the celebration, this small dog has a big role in the afterlife. According to Mexica (Aztec) stories, most humans would have to travel through eight levels of the underworld before arriving at the last level, where they would find their final resting place. This four-year, perilous journey was full of challenges, including the crossing of the unswimmable Apanohuacalhuia River. Each xoloitzcuintli would wait at the river’s shore for its master’s call to help ferry him or her on its back across the dangerous waters. There are many variations of this story, but they all include the help of a dog.
