Do our “captive or pet dogs” have the opportunity to have such relationships with fear? I often find that the bar is a little high high for them.
Play, love, friendships and rules
Here we have a lovely video of three of the farmies engaged in play. How about a close examination and an analysis.
Chaita and her avatars
At first, she was called the "site dog", who then became Sita or Syta and then the S softened to a Ch, just as our hearts softened for her. Thus she became Chaita and this is her story.
Does Elvis Sing?
First, there was Elvis. He was Cheeru’s first friend in this place and I suspect he is still her favourite. Or perhaps Dude is her favourite. Do dogs have “favourites”?
Meet the Farmies
This is the start of a series. An ethnography, if you will, of Cheeru and the free-living dogs around my farm - Chaita, Dude, Iti, Yaya, Elvis, Rita and Biscuit.
