All Dogs Go To Heaven

Well. There are so many amazing and beautiful things in the Philippines but like most things, there has to a balance; ying and yang, good and evil (you probably get the point). So to equal out the beauty the Phlippines has to offer they have their nasty nasty dogs.
Now not all dogs are shudder worthy, but those dogs seem to kept from wandering the side streets where you don't really see the. One example would be our old retreiver Kula who now lives in a much happier place (no... not doggy heaven but sort of down the road from us with a new more worthy owner) but Kula's opposite I fear has made that trip to doggie heaven, R.I.P. Pinky. It was our favorite nasty dog, covered with pink sores, walking with a limpy sadness that screamed malnutrition. Unfortunately Pinky disappeared before we were able to capture his unique beauty on camera... that and I was afraid to get even a little close to it. Sometimes though, even if the dog has great owners who love him and care for him things happen... and he starts to look like this:

I really wanted everyone to appreciate the true beauty that these dogs hold so I've saved these close ups for your pleasure... enjoy!

I just want to finish by mentioning that this dog truly is loved and comes from a great family. The dog only looks like this because of their desperate measures to cure him from ticks that were huge and pratically eating the dog alive. I also won't mention their names for the protection and privacy of the pup! Thanks for letting us take the pictures :)
