Twelve years ago, we found Oliver, a street dog on the Calzada in the historic city of Granada, Nicaragua. He was in very poor health, but he recovered, and he has lived with us in our house in Granada ever since. Over time you get to know the street dogs. Like street dogs all over the world, they mostly look alike, and they must be smart to survive. At one time they were not treated very well. The situation has improved in recent years, and people have been giving them food and water. Shelters run by volunteers have been trying to improve things by running health, neutering, and adoption programs. In 2024 I started making small watercolour paintings of Granada's street dogs. Except for Oliver, I made up their names, but it is possible some street dogs in Granada do have names!
