Now that the Day of the Dead is approaching, many Mexicans do not forget those pets that failed but are still with us.
With the arrival of the Day of the Dead in Mexico, many are wondering about the trend on TikTok that is about Mexicans who, in addition to making an altar for their loved ones, make one for their pets.
Whether it’s a dog, cat, hamster or bird, pets have become an essential part of many people’s lives, even those who, instead of having children, have decided to make animals their family.
In the case of Mexico, in addition to celebrating the Day of the Dead on November 1 and 2, it celebrates the pets that left after October 27.
As with humans, they choose to make an altar with photographs, candles, marigold flowers, paper and their favorite foods. These altars have become popular over the years, especially through social networks.
This trend has gone viral on TikTok and in these last days of October, many users share videos of their altars and in the background the song ‘El Latido de mi Corazón’ from the Coco movie.
These videos have created a wave of nostalgia on the social network, especially due to the emotion conveyed by the recordings of the pets in their last moments.
It should be noted that although the Day of the Dead tradition originates from Mexico, the popularity of the trend has caused other Latino people to make altars to their animals on October 27.
Like the beliefs of the Day of the Dead, culturally some Mexicans consider that pets return on October 27 from the afterlife, which is why their toys, favorite food and photograph should be on their altar.
