Dog rope A dog rope is a short length of rawhide rope that was used by the Dog Soldiers of the Cheyenne warrior societies and especially brave warriors of other tribes. Its purpose was to anchor the warrior in place when a last-ditch defence was called for, thus indicating an intention not to retreat even against overwhelming odds. == Construction ==
The dog rope consisted of eight to twelve feet of rawhide around four inches wide. One end of the rope was tied to a picket pin (a pin that could be hammered into the ground, normally used for fixing the picket rope of a horse) by a string. The rope was usually carried wound over the right shoulder and under the left arm. It was looped through a slit cut in the free end to secure it to the wearer. It could also be hung from the belt by a string. The leather of the rope was decorated with feathers and porcupine quills dyed bright colours. The picket pin was made of wood and painted red. Beadwork, although a common Native American form of decoration, was never used on dog ropes.
