They often travel around to the villages of the other ethnic groups where people don't eat dogs, and buy up all the spare puppies. They tie them in a string, and the puppies trot along after their new owner, unsuspecting. I've never been offered puppy stew, but the Bobo claim it is quite delicious. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------- Katherine A.
