574

March 15, 2009
Wherever you go, there are dogs. Especially in the alleys and more rural areas of Hanoi. Every time you pass a house you can expect a few dogs to storm at the gate or at you. Usually they just make a lot of noise, but I know one friend got bitten.
A part of the reason is security, as theft is a very big problem in Hanoi (and the whole of Vietnam). Even so big they may steal the dog which is supposed to protect you, as has happened once when I spent the night with Vietnamese family.
Maybe one very big dog of 574 kilos could handle all problems.
