This is a hard blog to write. I am again writing about the thousands (yes, I DID say thousands!) of dogs that roam the streets of Santiago- homeless. They eat what is given to them, sleep wherever they want and poop and pee wherever they want. They are usually pretty well fed but have skin issues and look old way before their time. The people here are so used to seeing them that they step right over or around sleeping animals. See photo- this dog was asleep at the top of a busy subway stop. People just side-stepped or walked over him. He never batted an eye. He looked dead.
Sometimes these dogs get homes, from what I understand, but most of the time they do not. There are many more in the poorer parts of Chile, but this one just caught my eye.
