A DOG'S PARTING SHOT

It may be funny now, but it wasn't then.

Several of us were at a grass landing strip near Chipinge, Zimbabwe, waiting for Pastor Dino Rizzo, his wife and a Zimbabwe official to arrive by Cessna. We had placed our travel bags in group at the end of the runway (off to the left outside the photo).

A mangy bush dog came near. It's never smart to trust a bush dog and I didn't trust him.

The dog locked eyes with me. He could tell I didn't want him there. He walked over to the bags, sniffed around until he found mine. He looked me in the eye again, lifted up his leg, peed on my bag, and walked off.

I'm still not sure it's funny.
