SOME dogs turn the well-known saying, ?barking dogs, seldom bite? upon its 
head. When in Ethiopia we had one such dog that terrified friend and foe alike. 
The pup arrived at our doorstep whining out of hunger and out of kindness we 
let him in. How we regretted that act!
He had inherited that rare affliction among dogs that caused them to seldom 
bark but oh, how they could bite! He and his kind caused a reversal of that 
well-known saying and altered it to ?biting dogs, seldom bark?. At that point of 
history, American forces were hell-bent on drowning Fidel Castro and his 
island. And in admiration of Fidel?s courage we named the pup, Cuba.
With good food and care, Cuba grew up fast with his nasty temper intact. For 
no reason whatsoever he would without warning, take a nip at strangers when 
they entered our compound. Soon Cuba and our family become notorious in our 
corner of Addisababa.
