I know I will get an argument by dog lovers from other places, but I say no one loves their dogs more than Parisians. I back up my statement with the fact that dogs are allowed almost anywhere in Paris- at the butcher, the baker, restaurants, the metro, parks, art galleries, food shops, boutiques, and dog grooming salons. Want immediate attention and better service in a restaurant or cafe? Just park your dog on the chair next to you and watch the waiters fawn all over it and bring a water bowl tout de suite.
This is the first of a new series called Paris Pooches. Woof!

I love how the color of this dog matches the trousers of its owner and also the red gravel

Adorable doggies! :) The only thing I wish - being a great dog lover and a proud owner of two - that more Parisiens live up to the widely proclaimed "Je Ramasse" statement ;)

How right you were and are! Look at my gorgeous Bisou next to that motley looking Parisian Bichon!!! And you think they love their dogs more than Americans??? When I took Bisou to Paris, they all flipped over him. They had never seen a Bichon look like that. If we could take our dogs into restaurants, we would. Sadly, the Dept. of Health has strict regulations and stiff penalties if one takes a dog into a place where there is food, a manicurist shop, etc. It is not for the lack of loving dogs, but the lack of ridiculousness on a political level. Sigh…
