They were startled just like us as they did not expect to bump into us. When I saw the surprise look on the dogs, it got me worried as I know animals that are startled or surprise may attack. What more a pack of wild dogs in a highland tropical forest.

At that moment, my body seem to have just frozed in time. All I could do was to shout softly to the dogs... "shoo... shooo...". TS was behind me looking at some moss on the ground. Lucky the dogs quickly turn and ran off. After that I took my kukuri knife out and held it in my hands for the rest of the journey.

Told my Minister of Home Affairs when I got home... BIG mistake... She went, "WHAT! I thought you told me these trips you go with your CP buddies are safe? WILD DOGS!... blaa, blaa, blaaa...

No worries.. she'll get over it soon.
That is really dangerous!!! Good to know that both of you are safe... BTW, that is nice trip and encounter a lots of sp.!!!
