Can you see the dog in this picture?
No heartbroken dogs roaming the streets of Old San Juan. Maybe in New San Juan, but not in the old one. These lucky dogs are house dogs!
What are roaming the streets are cats. Lots of ’em. In fact, the only animal that might be more numerous than the cat is the pigeon. Put these two together and what do you get?

Having grown up in San Juan I can attest to the unreliable electrical service. More than once did my poor family have to throw out a full wild boar carcass that we had stored in our freezer due to these failures. My hard-working father, Manuel, would then have to venture back into the jungle for another of these delicious beasts. (They make a fine sausage.) He could not afford to buy more boar on a cobbler’s wage.
Complaints, or requests for compensation from local government for our losses were always met the response, “No refunds for those from East San Juan.”
Great Blog!

Thank you for that interesting story, Rico. Wild boars have always been one of my favorite topics of conversation. However, I’m not sure what you mean by “those from East San Juan” unless it’s what I think you mean. If that’s the case, we’ll leave it for another blog.
