Dog

Review bycanaryswear· 2026-11-04

Its pet names are xochcocoyotl, and tetlami, and teuitzotl. Some are black, some white, some ashen, some smoky, some dark yellow, some dark, some spotted, some spotted like ocelots. Some are high, tall, towering; some medium. Some are smooth, some shaggy, woolly… . The muzzles are large, with large teeth, with small, pointed teeth. The ears are pointed, concave, hairy, shaggy. The head is round, bowl-shaped. It has a body—fat, thick. It has claws, long claws. It is domesticated, a house-dweller, a favorite companion, a constant companion, which follows running. It is happy, amusing; a tail-wagger, a barker, which lays its ears back. It barks, it is happy, it lays its ears back, it wags its tail. Its food is maize, raw meat, cooked meat. It eats all: the flesh of the dead, the spoiled; it eats the revolting, the stinking, the rotting.
