Dogs in the Southwest

This photograph, titled Benjamin and His Brood of Little Dogs, was taken by David Burckhalter in Rancho San Pedro, Sonora, Mexico, on a cold morning in 1995. It illustrates many of this issue's themes. The dogs (and one cat) are clearly social animals, and they are part of a human household. Their relationship with their human companion structures their interaction among themselves, as well as with human society.
