Dogs and Walls

Possibly two of the most striking things about El Salvador.

Dead dogs everywhere. Hit by cars.
I try not to look and always hope Chayo won't notice.
'It's probably just sleeping' I sometimes say...
But then it's there the next day, and the next, and the next...

...

So what's different about El Salvador? I asked my five year old niece.
She thought for a moment and then said 'The walls'.
High walls. Often covered with rolls of razor wire or broken glass bottles.
You can't see the houses from the outside and when you're inside you can't see out.
Security.
