We've noticed a lot of young men walking huskies along the Corniche in the evenings. I don't think Emiratis have traditionally owned dogs because of Muslim strictures against the canine kind. They are considered ritually unclean. So, I wondered if this might be some sort of youthful rebelliousness. I worry about the welfare of the dogs since they are cold-weather dogs in what is a very hot-weather country come summer and their people may not understand what it means to be a responsible dog owner.
The other day we saw a young man with a snake dangling from his shoulder and speculated whether that would be the next trend. Then last night, some guys upped the stakes by walking two monkeys on leashes. What will be next?
