its an art...sort of

So, as said before, we mark the dogs with black numbers on their sides. This video shows a bit of how its done; the dogs' head is being stabilzed by Jane, and John is doing the painting. The dog is partially in the zippered bag that we use to mobilize them when working on them. It minimilizes stress to them, as well as their ability to successfully bite us. This dog is number 36, and although the number as it is painted on is really thin, as it dries, it spreads out, and becomes very easy to read. We are in the back of a van, which is much warmer than outside, so it makes the dye work much better, and turn darker. It also keeps escaped dogs from completely escaping...
