A DOG at the education bureau

May 5, 2007

I went to the Addis Ababa Education Bureau in order to find some documents related to primary school education and an amusing thing happened.

I was looking for the office library and I found a girl on the way and asked her to show me the place. She pointed to the far end and told me that it is on the left side. In addition she told me that there is a DOG and I had to be careful not to get bitten. I was surprised as to why a dog would be kept at the door of the education bureau library.  Then I continued moving warily and another lady again informed me about the dog biting a boy who came to get his lost report card. Her advice to me was to phone the library from some other office and ask them to escort me. She also remarked “this dog should be locked”. As to me I do not know why there should be a dog in the first place
