This photo was taken in 1877 in northern New Mexico. As the story goes . . these vaqueros would head up into the millions of acres of mountains and round up free ranging cattle and bring them down to lower pasture for the winter. Does the dog look familiar? I figure he must be important to them or they wouldn't have that rope tied from his neck to the one hombre's chair. For me, it is validation for the theory that stock type cur dogs, like most aspects of cowboy culture, are products of Spanish influence on early American life.
Whatta y'all think?
wondering what happen to that deer must have been a chupacabra
