Modern day chihuahuas are thought to be descended from the now extict techichi dog which were bred for livestock and ritual purposes.

Did they use them to conduct blood rituals, opening hell gates to higher dimensions of torment? Otherwise I can't imagine any other reason for that amount of anger concentrated in such a small dog

I do know that they were sacrificed as part of burial rituals. The dogs were believed to help souls cross a river in their journey through Mictlan.

Oh, that sucks. Poor dogs. Their anger might be justified

There was me assuming the chihuahua was there to play the role of the summoned demon.
