Italian Daily Life | ๐ Dogs here are really happy
๐ Italy is rumored to be the most pet-friendly country! Since moving here, I've been taking pictures of dogs with my phone all year round. Who else is like me?? ๐งฉ Let me share how dogs live their daily lives here: - โฃ๏ธ Dogs can go almost everywhere except for hospitals, churches, museums, and some food stores (gyms are probably not a place where people bring their dogs!) - โฃ๏ธ Parks have free drinking fountains for both humans and dogs; outdoor music festivals, children's playgrounds, and snack fairs are all dog-friendly. - โฃ๏ธ Ice cream shops/coffee shops/restaurants have special bowls for dogs to drink from. It's common to see dogs lying next to their owners while everyone enjoys their meal and chat. - โฃ๏ธ Malls and luxury stores also allow dogs (once on a certain floor of a mall, I even felt there were as many dogs as people). - โฃ๏ธ Store employees usually greet the dogs warmly, saying "Ciao, little cutie" (with a playful accent on the word "ciao"). Owners can shop and try on clothes while their dogs wait patiently. #Italy #ItalianLife #MyTravelDiary #MyDogWalkingDiary #DogWalking #HappyDogs
