Homeless Dogs, Skopje, Republic of Macedonia

  I hesitate to put this in my series of Adespota pieces, because I don't know what relationship Macedonians have with their street dogs. Is it the love of the animals that Greeks have? Is it the fear mingled with hatred that often appears in the former Soviet Union? Is it apathy? In any case, this troop was patient and moderately cooperative...ignoring me as I clucked and whistled to get their attention, but eventually looking up to see what I was doing long enough to get a couple shots.
