Puppies on the market (Cao Bằng, Vietnam)
The nearby market shop was selling dog meat (a delicacy in Vietnam). Therefore I think those puppies are probably destined to become "food dogs", not pets, i.e. they are first bred into adult dogs and eventually eaten as meat (e.g. just like piglets).
I did not include the photos of dog meat shops in my Vietnam Set, but you can see them in my photo-documentary about eating dog meat for dinner that I also took in Vietnam: "Thịt chó" means eating a (hot) dog - literally. But be advised that those are very GRAPHIC photos and not advised for children.
This photo is part of my Vietnam photo album.
This photo is part of a series called Thịt chó: eating a (hot) dog. A lots of interesting comments and reactions have been posted on the various photo sites where this series has been published. Go to those various photo sites to read them.
