Los perros de Chile

I just have to post some pics of the adorable dogs here. They are wise and know the rules of the city (well, for the most part). It was so funny to watch dogs waiting at crosswalks. They know not to cross when cars are coming, and will walk with the flow of people. 

They have their own territories and will follow you around until they reach a boundary, and then they will stop. One young pit mix clearly did not know the rules yet, and followed us into the university and up some stairs to the Ecology Department building. He whined when we had to leave him outside, which was sad for us dog lovers. He has to learn I guess. 

Friends at the university. They knew not to follow us inside.

You'll notice the little guy above has a on a sweater. We saw many street dogs with sweaters and I still wonder who went around the city dressing these pups.

These guys joined the march down La Alameda to celebrate the win over Spain! Probably because they were stressed and had no idea what was going on in their city... 

I never felt badly for the dogs when they had had a nice place to nap, often with other dog friends. 

This Cocker Spaniel was sitting on his own balcony with a cat, who I just had to include because he had a killer mustache.
