Thoughts on Dogs

Dogs - I have taken a fascination with the dogs here. There are many on the streets and it doesn't appear to belong to anyone. The lie flat out like a dead dog, not curled like the dogs back home. They lie all over the streets, on trash heaps, everywhere. They don't move as the activity is all around them. They seem to maneuver around the traffic with no problems, even the little puppies know how to casually get out of the way of the cars, bikes, carts, feet. People don't push them out of the way but treat them with as much respect as any other creature. This seems to also apply to humans. Everyone seems to respect everyone else and does not act like they are in the way (except our car going through town where everyone/thing gets honked at). By the way this applies to the water buffalo, cows, pigs, doneys, horses, and monkeys that are wondering about the streets all day.
