As I house hunted this week, I can honestly tell you one of the top dangers for anyone looking for property in Ecuador are the street dogs!
In Ecuador, like in most developing countries, there are several dogs roaming the streets.
The worst are the dogs on the property of private owners, when looking at a property they could sneek up on you like they have me. People are more lax about putting beware of dog signs.
