A dog just awakes from its nap in the middle of a cobblestone alley, in Addis Ababa. I took a couple photos of this serene-looking dog before I decided that I really wanted some eye contact, which I achieve by calling out to it “salaam, wusha. . . “* Well, it turns out that this lazy, serene-looking dog is quite an aggressive watchdog, and I had to retreat from there, as the dog’s amused owner tried to keep it under control, while I just backed away, saying “yikerta, yikerta!”**
* “hello, dog”
** “excuse me, excuse me!”
