I was enjoying a pleasant end to the day with friends in the yard when a large dog came walking across a field on the other side of the road.  Over his back he wore a white linen sack that held a good amount of rice on either side of his chest.  He crossed the road and began attacking my own dog.  As the two wrestled, I kicked the stray dog in the head until he stopped.  Then I took the sack from him and tore it up, spilling all the rice on the ground.  The stray dog watched quietly.  I put the ruined and empty sack back on the dog and he silently walked away.
