Unsinkable Mumu

A little photo mystery). We have all sorts of unusual features in the Arkhangelsk region. In some areas, a dog is tied to a stick (sometimes even a huge piece of wood) around its neck, and the dog, poor thing, runs around like that all day long.

This is how dogs are taught to scare away deer. Overly playful dogs are restrained in this way. But, in my opinion, this doesn’t really help - the dogs jump and frolic even with a log. Photo from a reindeer herders' camp in the Pinega region.
