Rest in Peace Lucky

Lucky was not there when I walked past this morning. I had gone in to Eriku yesterday afternoon and had brought home some dog meat which I was going to surreptitiosly drop for her on my way to work this morning. I'm not in a position that I can own a dog and I did not want to encourage her as a benefactor. I feel guilty and terrible that I cannot do anything. I'm here for another year and judging by the number of other strays, who would have looked after Lucky when I left? In a place where the lives of people are if not exactly wretched as they are in some parts of Africa but are nevertheless a struggle, then the plight of animals is not a high concern for many people. There is an RSPCA in Waigani but it does not seem to be a priority in the consciousness of where I am. I hope you are better off Lucky. I hope it was merciful.
