Wanted Dead or Alive - preferably satayed

In Hanoi for an hour when.....

Imagine this dog, twenty years older, with long hair and brown teeth.

I will walk you through what hell such a nasty beast can cause a tourist! All I can remember are the dogs brown teeth and the laughing owners as it ran towards me and niped me on the leg.

I was a little slow on the uptake, eg did not kick it, and only realised about half an hour later that the dog had broken the skin. Knowing that Rabies is around I decided to go to the docter.

Being 11pm ish at night I was walking through the streets of Hanoi that were closing down in this area anyway, only to be charged by a beast similar to this, see below, but more brown

So that is two dog attacks, nay toy dog attacks, in just over an hour!

I get to the SOS medical facility (Read rip off for europeans run by incompitent staff) and got a vaccination. An appointment out of hours cost $100- 180 USD with medication extra.
