The Difference with Dogs

After a sunrise crossing of Inle Lake today, I found myself at the Ruins of Indein.  I was the only one there so early, which was fortunate – as even the vendor stalls had not yet set themselves in my path towards the temples and ruins.  When I got to the main temple, a curious note from a sand-painting scene I encountered in Bagan earlier this week was confirmed:  Buddha likes dogs.
