Stray dogs can bite and bark but they mean more than biting and barking. Stray dogs have a tough life. They live on the street where cars often go by. It is easy for them to get thrown under one and die. For example, the other day, there was a stray dog limping. My grandma claimed that this dog was trapped under a car, and injured his/her leg. So many dogs have died from accidents like this one.
The other day I met a dog named Bjna. She was small and round and loved beef and chicken meat. This dog was hungry. So I fed her. She ate it like she hadn’t eaten in a year. We thought that she would run away, and so she did. She ran out the gate like, well, a wild dog.
I think that everyone should have a dog. It keeps the owner healthy, teaches them to be more organized, and gets their mood boosted up to the highest planet in the highest universe.
These are stray dogs in Armenia. I don’t see no waggin’ tails in this picture. I just see sad eyes, and rumbling tummies so please, adopt a dog today. That sounded like an advertisement but it wasn’t.

PS. here are some more pictures:
I’m sure the dogs loved getting attention from you, and loved the beef and chicken as well (my rescue dog’s favorite snacks, too). I agree it is very hard to see all the lovable dogs that don’t have homes. Maybe you can convince your parents to let you take a dog home with you!!
