PP165493    DSSH - Dante - Coco Series - Disney Cuties

This pin is part of the ongoing Cuties series released at the Disney Studio Store Hollywood (DSSH) on November 1, 2021, via an online pin release. It features the dog Dante from Pixar's "Coco". Dante's breed is Xoloitzcuintli, which is the national dog of Mexico. Dante is Miguel's loyal pet in the movie. Xolo dogs are nearly hairless, and often have missing teeth, causing their tongues to hang out. This pin depicts a closed eyed and smiling Dante, in various shades of brown, sitting on his hind legs; his tongue is hanging out of his mouth.
