A Puppy!

With veterinary science being the family business, I was raised with an endless line of pets (as of right now, 4 cats, 4 dogs, 2 rats, a Beta fish & counting) and a special affinity for animals. There's lots of wild animals (mostly sheep and goats) running around Mbour but today I saw my first puppy and while all the Senegalese thought it was dirty and gross (and it probably was a little bit), I delighted in taking pictures of the pup running outside of the pouponniere and yes Mom, I petted the puppy too (before quickly washing my hands-with soap).!
