The Demon Dogs Of Cidgem

        So, there are wild dogs here. We've been told roughly 300 of them live in our neighborhood and the surrounding woods. I love dogs; I have no intention of changing that. However, these guys are gnarly (and snarly!). They are descendants of wolves, most being roughly the size of a German Shepard with coloring to match. Some look like labs, some looks like mutts, but they are all scary when running through the streets in a pack. We've heard that several people have been bitten or attacked and to keep your distance.

"Don't mess with them when they're eating trash."
"Don't get around the groups."
"Don't get stuck with them at night."
"Stay away from the puppies."

PUPPIES? Someone said puppies. I don't care if they are the demon dogs of Cidgem (our neighborhood), puppies are puppies.

     In an effort to remind myself that I love dogs (because I truly do not want to come back to the US with a hard heart towards our noble companions) here are some pictures of some puppies we found behind the school, and a video of some wild dogs playing in the forest near our apartment.
