Egyptian Puppy Mummies - Paul Nicholson

Few creatures provide better companionship to man than dogs. They were created by us, and of all animals on the planet, they seem to have a better understanding of their human companions than any other. So, it's not surprising to assume that Ancient Egypt's gods might like some canine companionship. National Geographic Grantee Paul Nicholson has been exploring a dog burial site at Saqqara, where as many as eight million puppies were offered as tribute to various gods in exchange for divine intervention.
