The dog on the right in the painting is the Salish wool dog, wiped out by the Canadian Government because it was the cultural dog for the Salish people
Yup. Canada ordered them all put down and the last one died in 1936
I’m kind of disappointed in people right now
The phrase "raining cats and dogs" originated in seventeenth-century England. During heavy rainstorms, many homeless animals would drown and float down the streets, giving the appearance that it had actually rained cats and dogs.
