Dogs and Cats

I love Appu and all the other dogs. To the dogs I used to be 'the person who pulls tails, oh no lets run away'. I dont know when I stopped doing that, but I did not do it last year or the year before. The dogs are still a little scared of me, but Appu was the first one to be stop being scared of me. The dogs live outside in cages/kennels. The dogs here are also very violent. They are not violent to us, but these dogs don't allow any other animals to come inside the yard. They have killed three snakes since we came, and really badly hurt a wild cat that came inside our yard. My sister and grandmother saw the dogs attacking the cat, and stopped them and saved the cat.
