This chihuahua dog, called Rigi, belonged to Adelina Patti, the world-famous opera singer who lived at Craig-y-Nos from 1878 until her death in 1919. She loved Chihuahuas and was so fond of Rigi that after his death she had him stuffed and displayed on his favourite red rug. Roedd y shiwawa hwn, o’r enw Rigi, yn perthyn i Adelina Patti, y gantores opera fyd-enwog a fu’n byw yng Nghraig-y-nos o 1878 tan ei marwolaeth ym 1919. Roedd hi’n hoff iawn o shiwawas ac roedd hi mor hoff o Rigi, ar ôl ei farwolaeth, trefnodd iddo gael ei stwffio a’i arddangos ar ei hoff fat coch.
