Day 2 - Lots Of Dogs

We have been in Coyhaique for a few days now, and I have been noticing the number of dogs. Pretty much every street that you walk down, you will find a dog. Most of the dogs are big, shaggy dogs and they all seem quite happy and friendly. On our first day we found 4 dogs lying down in a row on the same street as our house. There is always a dog or two playing in the fountain in the middle of town. One day we found a little kid lying down on top of one of the sleeping dogs near our house.

Yesterday when we were on a bus, we looked out the window and saw four dogs in front of a car barking at it. The dogs were lucky it was a red light. A few days ago we saw another seemingly suicidal dog run onto the road several times chasing cars, and the cars don't stop for them here - they must be used to crazy dogs.

Another time when we were walking to the conference center, we saw the first and only cat so far in Chile. It had it's knees sticking up weirdly, I think this was because there was a dog that was just staring at it.
