Thonburi, Bangkok, Thailand.
A dog suffering from what seems to be a common canine disease in the polluted Klong San area along the Chao Phraya river in Bangkok.
At first the fur peels off. Then the skin. Eventually blindness, blood loss, and death.

Thanks for the reactions. I wouldn't bet on it Erik, but you're comment will give me a nice feeling of comfort after it got rejected :)

This is for Human Impact. It is the most pitiful case of mange I've ever seen. I want to reach through the monitor and rescue this dog. It is heartbreaking.
