Chile, Punta Arenas

While Tom immersed himself in the wonderful world of the web, I got down and dirty with some of the locals. As they were of the four-legged variety he didn't mind too much. Volunteering at the most southernly dog shelter in the world was great if exceptionally mucky. I got covered in crap, literally as did a lot of shit shovelling ('scuse the French). The 150 odd dogs were gorgeous but did feel bad that no one wanted them. Three abandoned puppies were bought in while I was there, two hadn't even opened their eyes yet. Luckily one of the dogs who had recently lost most her young seemed happy to become their surrogate mum.
Be warned, these pics are all dog orientated - there wasn't much else to see at Punta Arenas. [Clare]
