"Snap" means photo in Creole. This man clearly loves his puppy. So many here are not loved. It was also in Corazol that we saw some brutality. We were walking through the market when a lady quite unexpectedly picked up a piece of concrete and pelted a starving dog with it, point blank. It turned my stomach. Not that its any excuse but the woman looked like she was starving too, or at least poor and too skinny. Its hard to be too judgemental when you realize that dogs and people compete for resources in a way we cannot imagine back home. Never the less, it was hard to see. We also saw some kids kick a dog when it was falling from a bridge. Had there not been so many of them, I would have scolded but again I have to realize that its not exactly my place to do so. I like this picture because it reminds me that love is shown to animals down here. But it is not a given.
