Without trivializing too much the mournful tragedy of Sisyphus, I leave here two videos that I found surfing the net, in which two dogs emulate the misfortune of the myth.
I hope that apart from taking a few smiles, Let us think a little.

In hell, Sísifo fue obligado a empujar una piedra enorme cuesta arriba por una ladera empinada, but before that it reached the top of the Hill the stone always rolled down, y Sísifo tenía que empezar de nuevo desde el principio.
The reason for this punishment is not mentioned by Homer, and it is dark (Some suggest that it is a part of Minos ironic punishment: Sísifo no quería morir y nunca morirá, but in exchange for a high price, and he will not rest in peace to pay for it).
Según algunos, había revelado los designios de los dioses a los mortales. According to others, It was due to his habit of attacking and killing travelers. También se dice que aún después de viejo y ciego seguiría con su castigo.

A researcher tracks Tenerife dog

A family Canary posing with copies of this breed of dog that was originally called Tenerife

Some French were exemplary of the island in the years 20 and they called the race, unique in the world, bichon frise

The American researcher Matthew Sell follow the trail in Tenerife of an endemic breed of dog from the island who was so famous that it became almost everyone and was coveted by Kings and nobles. Although during the last century, it bore the name of Tenerife, the French, its largest exporter during the period, they changed it and put bichon frise. The history of this pet is little known in the Canary Islands, unless someone related to the canine world. Showing its origin is virtually impossible, but the expert knows that after the two world wars – between the decade of the years 20 and 50– several specimens were taken to France to recover the species in the Gallic country.

The group that helps Matthew Sell, among which is the Professor of the Universidad de La Laguna (ULL) Ulysses Martin, want to know who these people were. The objective is to “trace the recent history of the bichon frise, It then disappeared from the island”. Veterinarians, as explained by the Canarian expert, they only register this type of breeds in the Peninsula, While there are no breeders in Tenerife. Somehow, This dog was recognized in Europe and “We do not know what adventures had in the Canary Islands”. “What we know is that around 1924 and 1950 they were exported to France”, indicates Martin.
The main lines and the best standards of this breed today descend from the bichons that were sent from Tenerife.. “We would like to find those people who were able to raise or care for this dog on the Island, because today nobody knows the bichon and those that exist have come from the Peninsula”, ensures the ULL expert.
