Rae, I plan to do a Part II of the dogs in a few days, but I have precious few cat pictures from Asia. For Ivan's sake though, maybe I will post a picture of a cat in Tel Aviv (the street along the sea is full of healthy, playful strays). Stay tuned :)

I understand without human intervention in breeding, street dogs around the world tend to revert to a similar appearance. The three tan dogs seem to add credence to that.

This is featured in the No Fighting, Whining and Putting Things Down group. If the dogs start to fight, I'll have to pull it though : )

That Kunming dog is about the average size of dog in China. Although over the summer I saw a huge St. Bernard on a hot beach here.

You would, Anna G. I prefer the first dog. He looks like he has a sense of humor.

I love these photos. It reminds us that dogs have been part of human civilization from the very beginning, and they've gone everywhere with us. These are wonderful. Thank you so much.
