Dog-free Uganda?

One of the most startling observations I have had since arriving in Uganda are the lack of dogs. In most of the up-and-coming countries I have traveled to, dogs are everywhere. They tend to follow the trash, and despite Kampala's efforts to "Keep It Clean", trash is easy to find. But the dogs are in hiding. Except for one local supermarket where I am still a little unsure of whether "dog meat" is meant to feed man's best friend, or if it is the reason I can't find any dogs around.
