The Dogs of Peru

When I first landed in Cusco, Peru I was immediately whisked away to Ollantaytambo to catch my train to Aguas Calienties, but not before I was struck by the amount of dogs wandering the streets. I wasn't sure if these dogs were strays, but they looked healthy and cared for and I discovered later are all quite friendly and love a chin scratch and a 'good boy' as much as any other dog. 

I fell in love with seeing these dogs that seemingly belonged to no one and to everyone at the same time; going about their business of sun soaking, food scrounging, and playtime. 

I couldn't help myself from trying to capture, photographically speaking, these beauties every chance I got.

I came across this dog at the Sun Gate at Machu Picchu. Show off.

We didn't see as many cats while traveling through Peru and Bolivia, so when we did, we attacked them with love.

Am I alone in this? Anyone else love seeing animals on their travels?
