Quoted By:
The Hawaiian poi dog:
>The puppies were sometimes given as a gift to an infant at birth.
>If the child died, the dog was killed and buried with the child's body.
> If the child out-lived the dog, the dog's teeth were pulled and made into a necklace to be worn by the child, continuing the believed "protection."
All the more evidence that bone-teeth-collar that pokemon wore is a dog. But still what can the meaning behind this collar be? The pokemons' mother? past trainer?
