September 7, 2007: Chile dog plays during riot

Thanks xoB. This item from the WaPo day in pics is quite striking once you realize what it is. The stream of water there is coming from a riot water cannon mounted on a police vehicle, in Santiago, Chile. They are aiming it at demonstrators. But the police dog has another goal in mind -- he just wants to play with the water. If you've ever seen a dog tackle a garden hose, you know the drill!

They should turn that hose on the sidewalk, it's looking pretty nasty. What is the riot and or demonstration about?

I'm hongry!

They should fill the cannon with Chili sauce and give the rioters onions and cheese to throw.....

Protesting the dirty sidewalks.

Kind of nice to see a hydrant pissing on a dog for a change.

that must hurt his mouth, I know that they mix water with pepper spray. Maybe thats how they condiment the meat? kinda like how they make pate de fois?

They protest anything and everything, they are chilenos. I should know, I am one of them.

Welcome cenzi.

:lol:
You are just too quick, Shel.

I know, but I'm taking tantric relaxation classes so my bf and i...oops! You meant my humor. ;-)

Chile Dog?
 

Glad to have you here.

Hi cenzi, welcome to the Cellar:)

Why is that the case ? (that they protest anything and everything).

In some places of the South, a chili dog doesn't have a weiner. That would be more correctly, "a hotdog, all the way."
I learned this when I ordered a chili dog at "The Liberty Bell" in Liberty, SC and was given a hotdog bun with just chili in it.
The girl behind the counter explained the difference to this poor damn yankee.
FYI, a damn yankee is one that came south, and didn't go back.
I wear the apellation proudly.

Water shortage. :p Yeah, my dog's gone after the hose. But if the pressure nozzle's on there, he only makes that mistake once. (a day..) I hope for the pup's sake he never reached the stream.
