For those of you who know Clio, you know that she loves animals. I remember, with astonishment, having arrived in India and driving home from the airport. We were jet- lagged and seeing India for the first time. Clio sat in the car oohing and ahhing over the dogs. She'd remark about how some dog was adorable, so I'd look out the window at the object of her attention. All I could see was a skinny, mangy, pathetic dog lying in the street. Clio has continued to be enamored by the dogs she sees. Her enthusiasm is contagious: we have all come to see the beauty in these dogs. They have great ears, long necks, and because they live mostly on the street, aggressive dogs don't last, so by and large, they are docile. In fact, we'd love nothing better than to bring one home. (Barney has dubbed them, "The Perfect Dog".) Meerkat Dog (see album) is the one of the most beautiful creatures I've ever seen.
Please follow the link on the slide show to see Clio's pictures of dogs. I also have a new album posted: "In Our Neighborhood". Please vet the album before sharing it with children: there is a dog with a tumor, a woman with leprosy, and a very sad, sick dog.
