Mans best Friend

One of the hardest things for me to get over in Morocco or actually in a lot of different places outside the US is the idea of dogs. Several countries don't have the idea of man's best friend, for every good reasons, but it still gets to me. There is one dog in the market who has this huge wound in his snout and it looks like it is healing (from far away) but it also looks so painful. It is also very common to throw rocks at dogs. Kids do it just because or people do it when dogs are getting to close or following them. I feel bad for the dogs which I know crazy, but I was talking to one of the other volunteers and they agree. These dogs really miss out on the idea of being mans best friend, it is a very American idea.
