Man's best friend

Dogs are abundant, roaming free and unattended, as if they are no less a part of society than humans.  It seemed to us that people do not adopt dogs in the Dominican Republic, but rather, that dogs adopt people.

On an afternoon walk, we spotted a puppy who had laid claim to the front porch of a man who sat in the shade. Both thought it a good time and place to relax.

It was an obvious partnership, at least in the dog’s eyes.
