http://beveres.blogspot.com/2010/06/ambassadorial-visit.html
Everything you can imagine in Guatemala is real. Saturday, June 12, 2010. It is truly rare that an ambassador takes the time to visit communities, see Peace Corps volunteers' work and the people whom with they work alongside, learn an indigenous language- all for the sake of doing his job to the best of his ability.

Like all other dogs in Guatemala, he is referred to as a chucho. Street dog) instead of perro. Dog) I bet that if dogs had the same rights as humans, then chucho. Would probably be considered a derogatory term used against perros. But let's not get political. Bobby is no ordinary chucho. He is Alpha Alpha male- yes, I used two. Bobby has made...
