Said to have been found in the same spot as
PF.0518, this fat little dog and its mate clearly
come from the same artistic litter. They were
meant to accompany the deceased through the
underworld and though they would have made
pleasant companions, they hardly seem ferocious
enough to have been watchdogs.
