Dogs are traditionally part of our culture in parts of Uganda and also serve as security animals that safeguard our homes both physically and spiritually.
With the physical aspect of it, they prevent strangers from gaining access to our premises and also our offices without our notice or consent.
In the spiritual aspect, dog are believed to be spiritually gifted by God to see the unforseen. Dogs can see ghosts and dead people when they pass on in less than 24 hours. When they see ghosts, they make slow but melodious sounds at night, other dogs nearby can also imitate that sound and they can continue for about 1 to two minutes with sounds like ‘woooo wooo woooo oooooo’.
Dogs according to some traditional people and animal lovers urinate on trees, cars and objects for a reason.
Dogs mark their territory by urinating on a pole or tire. This is their way of contacting their other companions.
When a dog urinates on a pole or tire, they pass information, which is then available to other dogs who will smell that pole or the tire. Following this, the new dog also leaves his mark there.
