Xoloitzcuintli Protected Frida Faithfully.

Frida Kahlo and her beloved firulais at home 🥹🐾 #NationalPuppyDay Frida had a deep love for the Xoloitzcuintli dog breed. Known for their long history in Mexican culture, and regarded as sacred animals by the Aztecs. The name Xoloitzcuintli is derived from two words in the Aztec language: Xolotl, the god of death, and itzcuintli, dog.🐾 Frida often portrayed them as companions and protectors in her paintings 🖼️ to emphasize their importance. Her favorite pup she named, Sr. Xolotl, after the Aztec canine deity and guardian of the underworld. #FridaKahlo #Poderosa
