Re: Negative comments

I am not quiet sure what you mean with ‘strays’, but most dogs you find on the streets have owners who (usually) take care of them. In Aruba, most people do not have ‘breed’ dogs but ‘street’ dogs. We feed them and care for them, but they are not trained and do not live inside the house (as they do in the US). We try to keep them in the yard but they are free to roam the streets. They can be a nuissance for drivers and walkers, but otherwise they are very mild tempered creatures who bark a lot but do not bite (as an avid walker I know what I'm talking about). We do not (yet) have the pet culture you have in the US where people keep dogs inside, let them sleep on their beds and even kiss them.
