The Mutt´s Nuts

This is Yungi (on the right), one of our three canine comrades at the Rio Dolphin. I chose my t shirt to coordinate with his fur. Little did we know, this was to be our first encounter with Brazilian dogs of MANY. There is ostensibly some kind of hound epidemic, evidenced most strongly on the beaches of Ihla Grande and Paraty, where they run amok like nobody´s business.
I promised the travel clinic nurse that I wouldn´t go near any animals while in South America. This has proved beyond impossible. Sorry Nursey!
Where there are dogs there are also doggie do dos. Matty has already fallen foul (hilarious pun) of the dreaded poo, with only a sandal to protect against foot-to-toot contact. Inevitably,´Turd Watch´has become an essential, not to say fun past time whilst traversing some of the more dimly-lit walkways.
