It stands for the fact that fish never close their eyes and therefore signify "reason and wisdom."One of the Buddhist Ashtamangala (Eight Auspicious Signs) is a pair of golden fish called in Sanskrit, Suvarnamatsya (in Tibetan, gSer.nya) that generally symbolize happiness.Traditional Indian literature sometimes compares the form of a lovely eye to that of a beautiful fish. Thus, the two fish are symbolic of the elongated brows of the Buddha.

Loyal Companion in mandala.In ancient Persia, dogs were one of the preferred means disposing of corpses.Dog tracks indicate servitude, loyalty, compassion and respect. Long viewed as the guardian of ancient knowledge, along with being man (and woman's) best friend, the Dog holds endless lessons for us. Specifically, when our paths cross with the Dog, we must be mindful of ALL paths we cross.In Vietnam dogs were sacrificed to the indigenous gods in rituals intended to induce rain.
