A Piece of Paradise "Dogs"

Jamaican dogs are not like American dogs. In general, Jamaicans do not like dogs like Americans like dogs. They are scared of them and so the main purpose for dogs is for security. Anyways, Jamaican dogs generally all look the same with the main characteristics being skinny, mutt, scrounging for food, barking all night, and always walking along the road. At CCCD MoBay, we are blessed with 3 dogs that are not like other Jamaican dogs. They look different, are well fed, washed regularly, and really like white people. The main reason for all of the nice things about the dogs is a wonderfully nice lady who comes down on work teams and she adores the dogs. She brings them canned food, flea stuff, beds, biscuits, medicine, and more things than a dog could ever want. She is a wonderful person and the kids always enjoy her coming. She typically leaves behind a large bag of biscuits which the boys love giving to the dogs. From the video, you will see the boys feeding the dogs biscuits. The kids personalities shine through as Drew is the one who loves to feed the dogs one biscuit at a time letting them eat out of his hand. Truitt on the other hand, does not like close contact and would prefer to take large handfuls of biscuits and throw it at them. Enjoy!

I think the dogs like Truitt's feeding method best!

Actually, the way Drew feeds those dogs reminds me of the way his mother used to eat her candy, very slowly and deliberately.
