Day 23 - No Apologies

I saw what looked like a peaceful, sweet dog laying in a grassy medium near the waterfront in Havana.  My first impulse was walk over and pet it, but my mind advised caution.  I snapped this frame on the third segment of my approach, previously greeted by less powerful snarls.  Clearly, this was my last warning.

Cuba has many homeless dogs and cats.  The Association for the Protection of Animals - Cuba (APAC - Varadero) is dedicated to providing health care and homes for wandering animals.  They also spay and neuter the pets of Cubans. 

If you are visiting the country and want to adopt a pet to bring home,  you can only do it through the APAC organization in Varadero.  Their site is APAC - Cuba
