<HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=2 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" FACE="Arial" LANG="0">A German man I walked with several days received<BR>
a terrible bite from a dog in Terradillos. It was a<BR>
black German Shepherd on the grounds of the<BR>
refugio. He stooped to pet it and noticed a strange<BR>
look in its eyes. As he pulled away the dog ripped<BR>
open his hand. It was a long time healing but he<BR>
eventually completed his Camino. Apparently the<BR>
dog had been run over by a tractor last year and<BR>
has been crazy ever since.<BR>
<BR>
After hearing of this, I stopped my habit of petting<BR>
every dog I saw on the Camino. One bad apple...<BR>
<BR>
It didn't, however, stop me from picking up a plastic sack full of 3-day<BR>
old puppies I found along the Camino near Rabanal.</FONT></HTML>
