That Santiago has a dog problem is not really a secret. Nor is it the first time that we are writing on this. Remember the stories of Mario, Coffee or Margarita? Many locals don’t know that it is a problem, or play it down or try not to think about it. But then I guess many folks from over here simply haven't enjoyed the luxury of travelling outside South America very much and therefore may not have had the chance to experience that dog poop everywhere or sick animals in the street is definitely not normal.
