Archaeological ExcavationDog Burial
When a chief died, the villagers chose a dog that would be possessed
by the chief's soul. The soul wandered throughout the heavens for
several years, but when it returned to visit the village, it inhabited
the body of the dog. Everyone in the village knew that particular dog
was carrying the chief's soul. When the dog died, it was given the
same burial that a human would receive.
