As you all know, I love dogs. I saw a bumper sticker on a motorbike here in Bali that said "I love Bali dogs"—I'm on a quest to find one for my car back in Maine. Everyday my heart goes out to all the Bali dogs. It is so very painful to see how most of them live. The Balinese believe that dogs are evil creatures so that is the major reason for the sad Bali dog existence. A life wandering the streets looking for food and shelter.
On the other hand, the Balinese revere the monkey. This fellow was at the Monkey Sanctuary in Ubud, where thousands of monkeys have free reign of the entire temple and beyond.
