A subject I will return to again in due course -namely ABANDONED DOGS. A dog like the above would thoroughly deserve to be abandoned. When you leg it around the SICILIAN MADONIE and NEBRODI you certainly come across abandoned dogs - at times in relatively remote countryside locations and at other times in townships. Responses from local folk vary from positive to negative - the latter, at times, almost verges on the superstitious "DON'T TOUCH THE DOG"! - hence this PETRALIA fantasy image which, in the case DUBYA BUSH extreme negativism would be very understandable. At other times it can be extremely demoralising.
