Cambodian dogs

I've seen a few different varieties of temperate or hot climate dog - Colombia, Chile, Argentina, Costa Rica, Mexico, Spain, etc.  Thus far, Cambodian dogs are leading the pack for being the laziest little guys on earth.  They're all nice, none really want to nip you, but beyond that it's rare to see them doing anything.  Even when we stop for breaks or juice stands, I'll go pet one that's sleeping - they take some pretty hard poking to wake up, then they barely even stay awake (yeah I hit up the hand sanitizer gel after!).  5 seconds later they'll be back to sleeping.  If you sit and look around, there's usually 4 or 5 in site all doing absolutely nothing. 

I probably would too if I were born here with a fur coat.

It's also hard for them to comprehend enough to not want to cross busy streets in Phnom Penh.  One happy looking little pooch tried to do so.  He made it 2/3 or way across, and just behind us was an army of motos.  We missed him, then heard a lot of yelping.  When Tori looked back he was panicked and running the 2/3 way back across the street, which didn't seem wise.  I don't think he was having a good day, I suspect their happy nature can't comprehend why people would care enough to slow down for a second instead of turning them to road kill.

Tori didn't find the little smiling dog sitting in a soup bowl caricature on the restaurant signs very appealing or funny, seems like mostly Phnom Penh and the western side cities.
