A popular Central American myth/legend is The Cadejo. There are 2 types. A White Cadejo and a Black Cadejo. One is a good spirit and the other is evil. The Black Cadejo will attack humans tearing them to bits (and are associated with The Devil). As a form of balance Heaven created The White Cadejo. The White (Good), spirit is known to protect and look over drunks (who may be robbed or attacked by The Black Cadejo). Some describe both as being a normal looking dog. Other, say they are larger than real dogs. The Good Cadejo has human-like expressive eyes, while the Black Cadejo has glowing red, evil eyes. One must not speak to a Black Cadejo - this will cause you to go insane.
