The Fishing dogs of Ponta das Canas


Tired of burgers and chips? Leftovers and scraps? Waiting for handouts or raiding dustbins? These guys are, and presumably that's why they took up fishing. Working as a team and highly focused on the task in paw, they patrol the shallows at Ponta das Canas beach until they find a likely contender, who has strayed in-to their depths, and then pounce.

Amigo Mike recons they've been at it at least a year, and they are looking pretty good on it. I suppose that if they get a little bored with their diet, they could always find a few chips scattered in the sand near the restaurant tables, squeeze a dribble of mayonnaise from an abandoned sachet, maybe even a little tartar sauce…
