Sri Lankan Dogs Don't Like Being Petted

Sri Lankan dogs can get very grumpy because of the heat and they don't like being petted. Anna loved dogs and she'd point them out wherever she went, a treat that has never left her. There's no mass vaccination of animals in Sri Lanka, not to mention very little in the ways of formal dog training. That meant that not only were they considerably more likely to bite you should you catch one in a bad mood, but it meant that that bite could lead to some very, very nasty infections.
