DOGS IN GREECE
Something that tickled me while I was in Greece were all of the dogs out and about. As a dog aficionado, it was fun to see all of the dogs. Often they would seem to attach themselves to our tour group and just walk along with us. Other times, dogs seemed to be sleeping near the tourist sights like the Acropolis or Olympia or Santorini. None of the dogs I saw seem to be emaciated and all were well behaved. I never saw a dog bark at anyone or jump up on people. These dogs are probably strays perhaps abandoned due to the poor economy in Greece which is really a sad thing. However, in my optimistic mind I preferred to frame the situation as a fun thing. I also saw cats which were also probably strays and at our hotel in Hydra, an employee there was collecting donations for food for the cats. Below take a look at the cute animals in Greece through the slideshow.
