Stray dogs

There are stray dogs here every where in Moscow. I feel pretty bad for them sometimes as its beginning to get quite cold. Some are fairly clean and I just want to go up to them give them a big hug and pet them to let them know someone cares - much like the first time I went to Guinea. I did think about it though for about 10 seconds and realized that they might bite me and I could end up with rabies in Russia - not something that I think would be a very good idea.

These dogs are crazy though - the move in packs sometimes, and sometimes are alone. Some are always in the same place, same time everyday. Some like to hang out at metro stations, and some apparently even take the metro - not sure where they would be going but they are more alert than the drunk guys. I do wonder how they get through that metro gate though?- maybe they know to jump over at the correct height while passing through?

Anyway, I just thought it was interesting and thought a few people might find it funny, particularly the fact that they take the metro.
