#itzcuintli

Itzcuintli, the dog, is a symbol of bravery and noble-heartedness. One of its missions is to guide the dead through the dangerous paths of the Underworld, as well as to give their spirits to Mictlantecuhtli, Lord of the Land of the Dead. The dog is a nahualli or spirit animal of Xolotl, Lord of Dual Things, twin and shadow of Quetzalcoatl, the Plumed Serpent.
