So, like many places, particularly those poorer countries there are a lot of dogs with no owners here. This for us is a little heart breaking, due to the fact we are both totally soft when it comes to dogs, but what can you do? We take our favorite ones, named Ropey Dog and Less Ropey Dog, our left covers, but my more realistic side kind of tells me we may just be delaying the inevitable, also we'll be leaving soon and we can only hope other people do the same. The more painful thing here is that they are potentially really nice looking dogs given a few meals and a bath and so good natured, so sad. At least its warm here with a river and lots of food places with accessible bins!!
Man as soon as we settle anywhere I'm going to be collecting strays!!!

Whilst on this subject for other people that are as wet and mushy as we are, something we can all do is support the world vets, they are actually tackling this problem, among many others, by providing donation funded neutering schemes in poorer countries, which along with education is the only real way to reduce stray populations long term.
