Just a bit more info, Yelapa is known for their wonderful dogs and most of them to belong to someone. In fact, as I was reading this I showed your pictures to my friend, Chopo and he said, "oh yeah, that dog. She lives with Adolpho. She only likes tourists and barks at Mexicans." hahahaha! The first time we visited Yelapa, we had a similar experience with a basset hound. He adopted my husband the first time we were here and never left his side. I thought the same thing about the dogs as you. On our second trip, out of the blue, he showed up the second day and again, never leaving his side (including sleeping and farting under our bed at night!). By then we knew several locals and asked about him. Everyone knew Charlie and we later discovered there is no less than two pages about Charlie on google! Here's his trip advisor review!http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowTopic-g504234-i9460-k2607809-Charlie_the_Basset_Hound_in_Yelapa-Yelapa_Costalegre_Pacific_Coast.html All this to say that the dogs in Yelapa are not abused (although cats often suffer a different fate) and typically head home at night for their regular dog meals. Most of the dogs live outside and that's why they are their scraggly selves. The dogs, like the horses, are true working animals and are an important part of the labor life here. I think that's why they are so incredibly helpful and friendly...they are living their natural lives! I'm so glad you had a great experience in Yelapa and that such a wonderful dog found you to solidify your good time here. Hi, I live in Yelapa and read your story with tears in my eyes.
