Sahraa makes a friend

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

This is Greta, a wadi dog who was rescued here by a woman who we served with at the embassy in Budapest. Actually, they had met before and got along fine, but this evening they were mainly at odds, probably because of two German shepherd friends of Greta's who were around; we think she was being possessive and didn't want Sahraa to get too friendly with them. That was fine with me because the shepherds were far too aggressive and intimidating for Sahraa.

Not a fun situation here at all, Helen. Great capture of this tense moment. V

:) I like to watch dogs interact. Not all that different from people most times.

They do look a little on alert. An excellent catch of their body language. V

A friendly nose to nose meeting. They look like they would get along just fine. Nicely captured, Helen. V

A nice capture of their encounter. It must unusual for Sahraa to meet other dogs in Saudi.

Is Saraa not affected by the heat?
