Me being a lover of dogs, one thing I learned about European culture was that there are dogs everywhere. I am not sure if this is all through out Europe, but it is very prominent in Italy. In the states seeing a dog on the street is very common. The only thing different about Italian dogs is that the dogs were literally everywhere, including inside the shops and restaurants. When we were in Rome we had some free time at a shopping mall and during this time I saw at least four dogs in stores. Another example was a picture that Liz showed me of a dog in a restaurant sitting at a table like it was human. Seeing dogs like this in America is a very rare situation. It was definitely a neat, yet adorable situation.

Yesss! I have a picture of a dog in a grocery store. There are also a lot of smaller dogs rather than bigger ones I've noticed as well.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing all these dogs here, it has been such a blast! They've all been so well behaved too and haven't even noticed anyone else walk by. I guess you have to be when you live in such a crowded place!
ReplyDeleteI noticed this as well while traveling around Europe. In America it is usually assumed that pets are not allowed in stores or other public spaces unless explicitly stated otherwise. In Europe it seems to be the opposite: pets are allowed unless stated otherwise. I think Europeans have a more relaxed attitude towards pets in public spaces.
