In a lush, sprawling corner of Costa Rica, hundreds of dogs--among the luckiest strays on earth--roam freely on a hillside. Fed, groomed and cared for by vets, more than 750 dogs rescued from the streets of Costa Rica inhabit Territorio de Zaguates or "Land of the Strays." The 375-acre sanctuary in the center of the Central American country is funded by donations. Around 8,000 dogs have passed through the refuge.
There are more than a million stray dogs in Costa Rica, where the government outlawed putting animals down in 2003.

Plenty of happy dogs in the city of Bogotá and surrounding countryside, minding their own business. What have we done to dogs in the United States?
