Early on we could see that the canine rules in Bratislava. Dogs are everywhere. They are clearly the pet of choice. Dogs are allowed on the buses, with muzzle only. Dogs are kept in purses (really). Dogs have to wait outside the grocery store, but are seen inside the mall and coffee shops. I spotted this little dog having a walk with his special sweater on. It just struck me as really funny seeing him/her/it, unleashed and walking right along with his "friends".
One pizza spot that we enjoy walking to as a family takes us through a neighborhood of single family homes. As is typical here, each home is fenced all around, and the driveway has a gate with security locks. It is also typical that each homeowner has at least one dog. When we walk by, the entire neighborhood is a cacophony of barking dogs. We found it particularly annoying and decided the only reasonable response was to bark back. We all practiced our barking until we were all having a good laugh. The dogs were going nuts all around and that made it even more enjoyable. Doug swears most of the dogs are really nice and they just want to be petted (okaaaaay, Doug).
