Street Dog

The photos below show our street dog, we call him Rojo or Red, depending on the language of the minute. He is friendly and cute. He gets so excited when he sees his favorite people that his whole body waves instead of just his tail. We have been feeding him our scraps for some time now, along with all the other neighbors. Sometimes though, there are not too many scraps; and although one lady in particular seems to feed him more often than others, he always seems hungry. We decided to buy some dog food and give him some everyday, this will at least supplement the scraps that he gets. His body language and attitude tells you his appreciation.
One morning he saw me outside and decided that he would try for an early feeding, smart dog. He sat downstairs just staring up at us, until he decided to come up and get a drink instead. He couldn't seem to decide whether he should drink or bath; but seemed to enjoy the water.
Last night he came up seemingly just to visit. I was outside reading and he came and laid down by my chair and was just taking it easy. Good company for both of us.
He is a good dog in that the only time he barks is if someone strange is on our street. He knows who belongs and who doesn't. Other than that he is quiet and unobtrusive, a nice dog; although he could use a bath. He is the only dog now that resides on our street, we used to have 4 of them and things were noisier then. The city came by and picked up the 2 females a few months ago and the other male left and only returns once in awhile to say hello.
