I'm going to show you a painting of the dog god with a story behind it❤️‍🩹
I will show you a dog god painting with a story behind ❤️‍🩹 English below ⬇️

Today started day number three of the #retoyokai 👺
We have none other than the dog god Inugami 🐕
At first, the Japanese legend of Inugami sounds romantic, a dog god who comes to life to protect and watch over his owner❤️‍🔥
This legend becomes a bit dark when you read the ritual to bring it back to life. The owner has to bury it up to the head and show it a plate of food 🥘
He can't let him eat, and at the same time he tells him that the owner's suffering is greater than that of the dog.
So, when the dog dies, it will come back to life as the dog god Inugami👺
Naturally, I am not in favor of this torture towards the poor dog, but it has brought me the romantic idea of ​​a dog, returning from the other side, towards its owner, turned into a dog god✨
This painting is also a tribute to Lur, my brothers' dog @david_saez_ortega @victorsaezjazz and @juanan.nono 🐾
A little over a month ago, we had to say goodbye to him and it was quite painful ❤️‍🩹 In this way, I have made a tribute to Lur, and I have painted him, returning from beyond the puppies turned into a dog god💫
Lur was always a very good dog, he was very happy when he returned to Murcia and had a special soul🐕
I'm left with when he would rush to cross the door and hug us 🥰
At home we miss him a lot and we dream of seeing him again one day🐾
This YoKai, along with four others I painted this week, will be on sale at the end of the week 💫
