I was about 30 miles outside Arequipa, Peru in March '86 at about 10,000 feet, photographing Halley. A large wild dog had shown up about 10PM and hung out maybe 100 feet away. He slowly made a circle around us then moved in ten feet or so to make another circle. He was taking an hour or so to make each loop. Thrown rocks and yelling had no effect. By about 3AM we felt he was moving in for a kill so we packed up the car and took off.

I spent several nights closer to town, near the laser ranging station, and locals with machine guns came and stayed dusk to dawn to guard me from "bandits".
