Wild Dogs at play

My first trip to Africa, I was lucky enough to see a pack of wild dogs, and we spent a short amount of time with them while they lazed away a hot afternoon under the trees.  This trip, I spent a great deal of time with the pack, as we tried to monitor them twice a day; first thing in the morning as they were settling in for their days rest, and then in the late afternoon as they set out on the move.  This much time in close proximity of the dogs gave me ample opportunity to witness a variety of pack dynamics and behaviours.  Watching them play was definitely one of my favourite moments with them.
