We found a spot on a Paten claim we were working that the ground was covered with pottery shards. My Friend Mat was rubbing it in for finding a white with black stripes Peace of pottery, I poped off ,That is nothing I found a dog, he snatched it out of my hand, Well I be darn, you sure did, I grabbed it out of his hand never dreaming that It was a dog. We think they were made to make the hunt bountiful. One has a hole all the way threw its body to let out the spirit, I was told. Trigo

Don't jump to conclusions or read too much into objects you find.
These may have been ' fetishes' as some like to call them, or simply toys to amuse a child. They might even have been made by a child, while an adult was doing the work of making more utilitarian pottery.
Whatever they are, they're a rare a wonderful find, and you are very lucky to have them.
