Someone was determined to get his dogs vaccinated!

Although I have seen many Maasai guys carrying sheep or goat inside a carton on the bicycle, I was shocked when this guy drove into our vaccination point with his carton full of dogs. I have never seen anyone manage to restrain dogs in such style (my own dogs will not tolerate for sure). He heard about the dog vaccination going on in Angata and how people got their dogs vaccinated. Unfortunately for this man, Angata was quite far away from his home. So, today he decided that he would take his dogs for a ride. Well, these boxed dogs were surprisingly calm and they did not seem to care so much about the bicycle ride. I could see the small wagging tails inside the carton when I greeted them. In fact, it was much better than those dogs which gets chocked when forcefully dragged by chain.
