I have never seen so many little dogs in all my life. It is as if they have taken every dog they could get their hands on and shrunk it down so that it can fit in a bicycle basket (see above photo). Even stranger than the disproportionate number of small dogs, none of which seem to be the typical breeds that we associate with little dogs like Chihuahua or pug, is the crazy things they do to their dogs. I have seen many different coloured dogs, some pretty funny hairstyles, they ride in baskets on people's bicycles, etc, etc. And to top it all off they even eat dog here. It is a rare delicacy and I have not yet encountered it myself but it is something they do here. This would be easier for me to understand if they didn't keep dogs as pets but instead as livestock, but they don't. Its all just a little strange and very entertaining, especially since a lot of the dogs look like the "dragon" from the Neverending Story movie, you know the one.
Do you mean "Falcor"? I think that he was actually supposed to be a flying dog. Nerd alert. I know.
ReplyDeleteRe: the dogs. The photos are great. The love of small dogs was a similar thing in Italy when I visited. I suppose it makes sense owning tiny dogs, small living spaces just aren't made for Golden Retrievers. I'm a little concerned with dyeing their hair though, what happens when it grows out?
you have to try dog soup it is delicious.
