Who's Dog do I Feed?

I was at a coffee house the other day and overheard a conversation between two people. The lady, who seemed to be a veterinarian, was very angry at the people that feed the stray dogs on the streets. “They open cans of dog food and then they leave the trash after themselves. I am tired of all the trash.”
After a good laugh, I could understand how she felt. With a huge garbage problem down here, and with the "international people" complaining—not the only ones—and then at the same time these same "internationals" are helping out as good hearted people, but forget to think about the waste they are leaving after themselves when feeding the stray dogs.

Her girlfriend nodded in agreement and then continued the conversation about the stray dogs, “Many international people don’t understand that many times they are feeding someone's dog.” They were both laughing now. I was smiling, thinking about the “dognapping” that I was the leader in. (Read below the story)

Later on that day I asked my Italian friend about what I had overheard. Its seems that what the second lady said was true. A lot of Italians are letting their dogs out in the morning and their dog is wandering around the whole day "feeding". Later in the afternoon he returns home to his master. It is true that many of the dogs are getting fed while they are out roaming around. Some (many) don’t have a collar but are mostly fat. It is hard to know if the dog you are feeding has an owner or not.

Of course, you could ask around and talk to the people, the people who live in the area, they will probably know. But sometimes you have to become a “dognapper” to know the local peoples' thinking.

This is educating Amore!
