"Stuff is eaten by dogs, broken by family and friends, sanded down by the wind, frozen by the mountains, lost by the prairie, burnt off by the sun, washed away by the rain. So you are left with dogs, family, friends, sun, rain, wind, prairie and mountains. What more do you want?"

Indian Tazi
A classic Indian miniature from this site, circa 1800, sent by Jess at Desert Windhounds. As Brett says, it is either the biggest tazi or the smallest handler EVER.
LOL -- I don't know when it was painted but all the way up to the 1500s (I think) it was typical to depict objects sized according to their importance. Must have been one helluva dog :)
Gosh, guys; I can't believe how uncultured you are--I'm considered somewhat backward, but even I can see that this is clearly a very accurate illustration of a tazi with an oompa-loompa! They were probably out hunting perniscious knids, or some such, in this depiction......L.B.

I wouldn't let the Irish wolfhound pseudohistorians see that one.
