Field Notes

Description:

Small to medium village dog with stiff ridge of fur on its back - likely progenitor of the modern Rhodesian Ridgeback

Habitat:

One of many dogs in a village we visited

Notes:

We were told to not pay any attention to the village dogs. Hard to do when they would come up and lay their head in our laps!
