first contact

As we watched the dogs on the streets it was clear that few of them were aggressive - frightened and wary, yes, but not aggressive. The currency of our first contact with the dogs was food. For some reason I can no longer remember we had some blueberry muffins left over and somehow we must have thought the dogs might like to try them.

I no longer have a date for this picture but I believe it was the first time we got this close to Bella (though at this point I'm sure she still had no name). To our surprise the muffins were a big hit and she ate the lot.
