this story about a double-nosed andean tiger hound is so odd. i almost think someone at the bbc just made the whole thing up, and photo-shopped an extra nose onto a dog. because "double-nosed andean tiger hound" is just too ridiculous. obvs the person naming the dog was trying to cram in as many sweet adjectives as they could. and the explorer who

I like how all the animals have names.

Snake V. Python is a stalemate since they both died.

Those ears aren't telling me that dog is having fun with two snoots.
Maybe it's that hand coming up around its neck.
Pretty funny that he has "colonel" in his name! haha. I believe that's his name, but if it was Colonel John Blashford-Snell Sanders, i don't know...

typical South American magical realism, I scoff

I was going to say, almost word for word, the same things about the ears/nose/hand/neck/fun. I lose.

I think who won in the alligator vs. python story all boils down the motivation of the motivation behind the snake's trying to eat the alligator. If he was doing it because he was hungry and feeling cocky, he lost. If he was doing it out of anger toward the alligator, he won. Sure, he died, but so did the alligator, and isn't that more important? I think it is. Sometimes you have to sacrifice, to prove your point.

I noticed the 'sober' part in the story, as well.

There was another picture of the dog that looked a little cuter, though. It was too bad that from the litter of puppies, all the double nosed ones died within 3 days. :^ (
