Brum,

Carrying the smoked meats around in my pack also helps me to be accepted <snip>Within 5 minutes after I arrive, usually every dog in the village is following me around wagging their tails and sniffing at my pack, (I think the dogs use cell phones to announce my arrival). <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

The village people tend to be a bit wary of strangers, but I suppose they think I must be a good person if all the dogs like me, <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> and they warm to me rather quickly.
