Peruvian dogs, a.k.a. perros calatos (”naked dogs”), Chancay edition. At the Museo Andrés del Castillo. (Photos by C-M.)

Moche version, at the Museo de la Nación.

The real deal, rocking a sweatshirt, near the ruins at Pachacamac. Sublime.

Oh, sorry, here’s where the poochy comments go. That is one ugly dog. And with a mohawk! He looks like he has chicken feet. I hope somebody loves him.

The mohawk is natural, they are born like that. They are pretty much loved and taken care of (some all ladies slee with them because they believe thay have healing propoerties..:S) This one has a skin problem though, they don’t usually have the face like that
