If you drop into Iik, the shop that sells Guatemalan purses and more in front of the San Francisco church, you can see Mezcalito, their Izcointle dog. Mezcalito is a direct descendant of the dogs here in Mexico long before the Spaniards came. The only parts of his body with hair are the crest on his head and the tuft at the end of his tail. He's a friendly, intelligent dog as his playmate knows.
Rochelle Cashdan's Mexican buffet with Guanajuato the main course. "I'm a former Oregonian who now writes in English for The Chopper, Guanajuato's Spanish-language weekly magazine, www.redroom.com where I have an author page, and www.associatedcontent.com."
