Default OT - Ancient Peruvians revered dogs

Pre-Incan culture treasured their dogs. May be a new breed if the DNA pans
out.

Since 1993, researchers have unearthed 82 dog tombs in pet cemetery plots,
laid alongside human mummy tombs of the Chiribaya people in the fertile
Osmore River valley, 540 miles southeast of Lima. The Chiribaya were farmers
who lived from A.D. 900 to 1350 before the rise of Peru's Inca
Empire..............."They have their own grave and in some cases they are
buried with blankets and food."
