Nica Dog II - Leica

As I mentioned in my previous post, the dogs in Nicaragua come in all sorts of shapes and sizes.  Leica, the resident pooch at a hotel that I stayed, was certainly no exception.  Her ancestry is anyone’s guess, but my money is on her being a cross between a dog and a dinosaur.  Despite being a rare living descendant of a prehistoric creature, Leica’s beginnings were pretty modest.  Her owner chose her over a set of booster cables and a steering wheel cover, all of which were simultaneously thrust into his car window by keen salespeople at a busy intersection in Managua (the capital city of Nicaragua).  Leica spends most of her day basking in the sun, but takes breaks now and then to solicit hotel guests to scratch her head.
