Very nice, but I doubt it's actually a dog. My guess would be a wolf maybe.

For Mississippian pottery, he may be correct with dog. Many natives had domesticated dogs and held them in high esteem. The Quapaw were probably the most notable for it. They thought very highly of their pooches and revered them by portraying them often in their ceramics on a regular basis.

Although, it also could be a bear.

Thanks Neanderthal. I didn't know that. That's why I didn't figure it to be a dog.

Google "koster site dog burials" Those guys (early archaic) buried their dogs among people. I think every group in the world had dogs by 10000 bp.
