I've heard more than one Indian refer to Hugo as "Snoopy" as they slowly back away from him in fear. I suppose that since so many dogs in the city are wild, people are just not used to interacting with friendly pets. And Hugo is overly friendly. He even decided to bark when I wouldn't let him play with the water-delivery men. Their faces were horrified as they asked, "What was that?!" I answered, "A dog?" Did they really not recognize a bark? Recently he's taken to climbing on the back of the furniture, and this seems to especially startle people who are visiting our house. Below are some of the terrifying images that you might face when you first walk through our front door.
Watch out! He's coming for you!
