Doggy Door - San Pedro, Belize

I saw a really nice coffee table book in a bookstore in Riyadh that focused on doors & gates in Saudi Arabia. Borrowing the idea, I thought it would be interesting to include some of the photos from our travels this summer.
Canines are usually fierce defenders of their territory. We noticed they mostly leave humans out of their territory disputes on the islands in Belize. However, I've read accounts recommending humans take the Teddy Roosevelt approach of "tread softly and carry a big stick" in some places due to agressive dogs. Maybe it is the laid-back Ambergris Caye island attitude? While strolling down the beach we didn't see this little guy but he saw us. Wisely choosing his battles, he didn't even mumble a bark until well after we had passed. I bet if the gate was closed he would've given us heck.
