A Stray Dog Stirred in Yambol

Walking through Yambol stray dogs are still on the prowl in most places. This one was asleep until I stopped when it stirred as I took the picture. Half asleep as you can see, persons taking pictures was new to this canine. This was a loner dog, but probably later in the evening it will join into a pack and hunt throughout the night as they do. Individually they are cowards but in a pack, (or more appropriately a gang) they are a proven danger to the public.

Typical Yambol Stray Dog

Dogs in Yambol are all over the place, both as loners and in packs. Today I saw a loner, they are sorry looking animals but never go hungry as there are many rubbish bins about for them to scavenge before the gypsies get there. If you approach the dog they shy away as most Bulgarians just kick them away. If they are in packs they have a bit more courage with humans and shouldn't really be approached. This particular dog won't last long as it is in a heavy traffic area and will get run over soon. This unfortunately is how it is here.
