Male Dog, 200 BC-AD 300. One of the best-known subjects of West Mexican tomb sculpture is the native hairless dog, which is shown naturalistically-as here-but also wearing a human mask, signaling complex meanings.These meanings are not well-understood, but like later Mesoamericans, West Mexicans may have believed that dogs served as guides or guards in the underworld realm of the dead. For the living, they also served as food.

A portrait of Jonathan Wild (1682-1725), a London underworld figure notable for operating on both sides of the law, posing as a public-spirited crimefighter entitled the 'Thief-Taker General'. He exploited a strong public demand for action during a major London crime wave in the absence of any effective police force. A powerful gang-leader, he became a master manipulator of legal systems, collecting the rewards for valuables he'd stolen, bribing prison-guards to release colleagues, and blackmailing any who crossed him. His duplicity became known and he was hanged at Tyburn.
