St. Dominic is often pictured with a medium sized, black and white dog, with a torch in his mouth, representing setting the world on fire with his preaching. Look at this picture of St. Martin de Porres. That dog breed is a Peruvian Inca Orchid. He is a hairless breed, medium size, and lives to be about 10 years old. St. Martin is from Peru so it is appropriate that his dog be native to Peru.
