dogsDescription
The Dogs of the Conquest may have been their Spanish owners' best friends; certainly they were the Indians' worst enemies according to Varner and Varner's grizzly narrative. Spaniards satisfied their vilest lusts of greed and sadism through the attacks of snarling mastiffs, greyhounds, and other breeds (mostly hounds) trained for the human hunt. Tómalo, or "Sic him," the attack command, must have been uttered tens of thousands of times during the half-century of the conquest.Book Details
