At many businesses in Kibera, dogs are the new guards or watchmen, if you like.
The owners of the dogs ensure the animals operate in premises, business places and Kenyan security companies.
In many occasions, highly trained dogs are attached to a single premise guarding the area and sometimes with an assistant guard.
Using a dog as a guard has really reduced the expenses of hiring a guard. Dogs have emerged the best security agents than people.
The owner of the living premise at Gatwekera Village in Kibera trusts that the security his dog provides is one that he can rely on.
The question is these dogs work really well but are they paid for their services? And are they fed well enough in accordance with the job they do?
