Yes and you don't see many stray dogs around either coz they end up on the dinner table... Which begs the question: what effect does this have on humans that eat infected dog meat?

So we now know that if you dont own dogs and don't eat pig you are more likely to be a suicide bomber than someone who owns dogs and eats bacon. Fore safety you shoud get a house next to someone who meets this criteris, exept I hate F#$*ing dogs. Had to sell my last house because the bugger next door had a dog that barked all the time he was not home.

Dog is not widely eaten and if you not have seen many stary dogs, I can only assume that you don't venture far from the riverside. Seriously, there are dogs everywhere.

The visible infections that you see is NOT rabies, but mange, ringworm, distemper and the like.

Anyone that has kids and those that teach kids should teach kids what to do when dogs come running out of houses etc, and start barking at you.

Lesson 1 ] DONT RUN. The animal instinct in a dog is to chase you and bite you from behind, usually on the back of the legs.

Lesson 2] Turn to face the dog and stand still, or slowly back away while still facing the dog. The one with the most patience will win . If there are two dogs put your back to the wall so they cannot get behind you.

If you have a choice between picking something up to throw at the dog, first choice is sand / dirt, not stones. You may miss with a stone but sand in the eyes of a dog wins you big points.

Dont let a small child bend down to do that though, as it puts their face closer to attack level. The idea is to stand taller than the dog .

My 7 yo and 9 yo girls are scared of dogs and they always make sure that I am between them and any dog when we are walking, but I have demonstrated this principal of facing the dog many times with them and they now know it works.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

There are owned dogs everywhere but where in Phnom Penh are you seeing all those strays?

Sorry, I did not realize that we are talking about the confines of PP. And it is sometimes hard to distinguish between owned dogs roaming free and stray dogs. But go for a run at night and you will see plenty of dogs on the streets just across the river, behind the railway station, and Diamond island.

Agreed, and humans can't catch distemper and are barely affected by mange mites. The mites might make you itchy but can't reproduce and fuck you up like it destroys dogs.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

There are a lot of stray dogs in Cambodia, but it varies from place to place. Some areas you see them, some areas you dont.

Learning Khmer may help prevent you getting bitten by a dog. I have been told by Cambodian people not to go any further down a path as there is an aggressive dog further along, which has bitten other people.

Another thing is to pick up a stick or piece of bamboo (if there is one around), and swing it in the dogs direction. You can swing it 360 degrees if you need to. This stops them getting close enough to bite you.

If you are caught by surprise and there is nothing to pick up, bend over as if you are picking up a rock. Dogs dont know whether you actually picked up a rock or not, and will keep their distance. You can even pretend to throw the pretend rock.
