Apollo the Gentle Black Giant

The furry one was our guest for three weeks. It's the parent's dog.

I think it's more about moving targets with the size of a deer, Argybee ;)

It's something about wheels... they just look too darned busy. 8>)

Here in Germany some major cities have animal ambulances - they care for both owned or wild/straying animals.
Yogesh, Apollo tends to chase bikers, too - especially me...he takes the bike as prey and always tries to stop and face it by overtaking me and cutting my direction to stop me. He's not after strangers on bike though...he knows what's allowed and what's not; took some lessons to teach him though.

True Emma, A big problem in Mumbai is the street dogs chase you, specially when you driving bike night time. My best wishes to Lata Ben.

In fact in Baroda,they do have it. If the dog has a problem a lady called Lata ben ,has organized a clinic. They come in the ambulance and if it has a wound they treat it. They also treat it for worms etc. Only problem they have is limited resources. So it could take day or two before help arrives. They try to make it earlier in emergencies. The biggest problem I heard is beating the traffic!!

Not yet heard Emma, good if any NGO start clinics for them.

Apollo does look very gentle!

Yogesh,some of the street dogs in India are beautiful too Nowadays they have mobile clinics for street dogs i heard?

wow! Lars, love to add him in my frnd list. @ Emma even my dog eat not only coconut but all fruits.

Lars, my 2 femmale dogs are what we call in Portugal,rafeiros(street dogs)and all my 10 cats to:)i dont know the exact name in inglish,they are medium size,one Lena,more old(10) the other Flôr(flower:)more fresh(1,5),so the 2 problem of your apollo can be solved whith a little voyage to portugal:)

Good news, Emma (and please call me just Lars ;))!
No, I haven't seen it, but even without I can tell that this is pathological feeding habit.

Thnx Larskob, I visited him again. He seemed fine.
Have you seen Christians dog Boof eat a coconut?

Thanks Emma, Galantliv and Ashish - he feels like a star now ;)

@ Emma - regarding that Mango-issue...depends on the size of the dog I'd say. Fruits and vegetables can be pretty dangerous for dogs, since many substances contained in these are poisonous to dogs while not for us humans (nuts, onions...but also chocolate, containing kakao which is heavily poisonous to dogs - 100g can kill an average sized dog within 24h). I wonder how a dog dared to swallow an entire Mango in one piece...

Great shot... Lars..
Love your angle.. You love this buddy lot...

Well isn't he a handsome fellow :)

i just came back from a friends home who was worried sick that her dog had eaten a huge mango which she had left on the counter.He seems to be OK though.
Can a dog handle a big mango even if he swallowed it whole?

awesome!

Oh yes, he loves kitties...his special way ;)

Beautiful! And I have a couple of kitties I am sure he would like to meet too! :)

I will, António :)
What kind of dogs are they? (regardless Apollo is missing two important things...if you know what I mean ;))

The Black Apollo,give him a biscuit for me,i have femmale dogs that he would like to know:)
they are great spotting budy's

Thanks, Sergio - I'll tell him :)
