Why Dogs are Called Dogs

The decisions we make and the actions we take have consequences. In this Malawian folktale, two dogs learn that being greedy and selfish can have big impacts for them and others.

As the dogs embark on a journey to change their name, their moment of selfish greed means that they end up losing more than just their promised new names.
