Poor cows!

On our walk this evening, we bumped into the cows again!  :)  This time round, I got to walk right up to it to take some photos.  The brown cow seemed friendlier than the black one!  I was busy snapping away when we noticed a male villager came near and scolded some bad words at the cows!  He was upset with the cows for devouring his produce on a plot of land that he farmed.  He was shooing the cows away.  Hmm.. I hope he won't hurt them.  He told us these cows came from the southern side of the island.  While he was making all these commotion, I noticed Happy quietly and secretly sneaking a few mouthful from a fresh pile of cow poo 'delicacy' !!!!  (She knew she wasn't supposed to do that!)  Sometimes I think she just do it to see our frantic reactions!  I shouted at her and shooed her away from the poo, as we moved on, I turned around and saw Maria feasting on it too!!.  It is a well known though hardly openly-discussed fact that dogs love to eat poo, be it cows, horses, deers, rabbits, dogs, their own and some even human poo, but their all time favorite is cat poo!  Cat poo is the highest in protein due to the cat food they eat, dogs just love them!  Disgusting as it is, these habits exist!  hahahahaha..  they love to roll in smelly dead stuffs, and that includes poo poo too!  To them, it smells heavenly... and ingesting feces is a normal part of their lives, (in the wild, mother dogs will clean up their puppies feces etc) it is usually the human owners that have a problem with that!  hahahaha  Once a dog has a habit of eating feces, it is hard to break this habit, the only way is through management...leash the dogs or be very vigilant when out walking....or even prevent from going to areas with possible poo poo, well, this is pretty impossible around this rural area where there are so many animals around.  It could be possible in a more urban setting where there are no feral animals or stray dogs/cats.  I forgot to mention that we met a super-friendly dog on our walk today.  It is very very rare to meet friendly dogs around this area, most of them are either very territorial or very people-shy.  Not with this dog!  It amazed us by coming right up to us and licked D's hand, he wasn't afraid of us at all.  He didn't do so well with Happy and Maria though.. He was afraid and tried to get away from them.  Here are some photos of the cows (again) and the unusually friendly dog.
