Touching

I've always found this photo incredibly touching. It was taken during the difficulties in Zimbabwe when landowners and farmers who were unwilling to give up their land to the black majority were being killed by a lawless element and it was all condoned by the government. This photo shows a farmer who was murdered for his land. Despite being covered by a blanket, his dog is sitting beside him, beside his master and companion. I find it heartbreaking. I wonder what happened to the dog...
