The contrasting fortunes of Black and White

This is Negro. He lives near to the house of Fermin and Rufina in Lagartillo. He is allowed to wander through the kitchen and receives plenty of tasty food scraps. He is a happy dog.

This is Blanco. He lives in the street in Lagartillo. Nobody likes him and children throw stones at him. When I asked them why, they said it's because he's nearly dead. He is a sad dog.

There are Negros and Blancos in every rural village in Nicaragua. It comes down to survival of the fittest and luck.
