LITTLE KA KAMy father and I decided to go for a swim by asecluded cove locally referred to as Playa delBeso, the Kissing Beach, which is situated nearthe town of Los Ayala. To reach this cove youhad to follow a jungle path at the south end ofLos Ayala beach. It was a ten-minute walk andthe path paralleled a high, rocky coastline. As wecame upon the secluded cove a little dog greetedus. It was so ugly it was cute. To me it looked likesome sort of Star Wars character, like a crossbetween a dog and an armadillo. It had long,pointy ears and no hair except for a few strandson the top of its head. It was friendly, but I didn’twant to touch it for fear of possibly contracting adisease. Later, as we were leaving the beach Iwaved a stick at the dog. He came over to playand then began to follow us. That’s when I heardthe dog’s owner call out his pet’s name.“Ka Ka, Ka Ka!”- come home - he yelled.Little Ka Ka
