Afgans Love Dog Fights.

Luke Powell took a series of amazing photos on Afghanistan, but this one caught my attention:

Dog Fights are a popular sport in Afghanistan. Dogs fight to settle dominance, and once a dog knows that he cannot win, he yields, he rolls over, bareing his underside, and the match is over.

It may happen that occasionally an ear or a lip gets snagged in a dog fight and the match is a bit bloody, this is why the ears of the dogs are cut short when they are young, but dogs are rarely injured seriously in a supervised fight like this.
