We have a couple of those dogs on top of a bookcase in our living room. I think we got them in Colima. The dogs were raised for food, in case you didn't know.
Yes, the dogs come from Colima. The critter at the bottom is from Oaxaca, the turtle from Chiapas, and the wooden container from the state of Mexico. One of the things I love about Tijuana is that you can find people, crafts, food, and customs from all over here. One week there will be a Oaxacan fair, the next week a celebration of Sinaloa.
Dogs are eaten in many places, Mexico, Philippines, the United States. I sampled them in South Dakota. At least as young puppies, doggie veal, they are quite tasty.
I am a bookseller with about 20 years experience, having taken up the trade after retiring as a trial lawyer. I deal exclusively in books on Mexico & bullfighting. I am sole proprietor of my shop in Playas de Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. I am also the list owner for The Bibliophile Mailing List, an email discussion list of book dealers, collectors, librarians, & others interested in the book trade.
My unfulfilled ambitions are first, to play violin with such artistry as to make a Spanish Gypsy cry and second, to survive with grace in the arena with a full grown toro bravo.
