Many people take their dogs with them nowadays, and to just about anywhere. We’ve seen dogs in many tourist areas and it seems more and more places are allowing the entrance of dogs although the stipulation is usually that they be on leads.
We’ve seen them being towed behind bikes in child-carriers and some, usually the smaller breeds, perched in baskets on the handle-bars of pushbikes. This one was enjoying a day out watching the Tour du Limousin bike race and was stalwartly facing the breeze. It was a bit cold and bleak but luckily he had his jacket on. I’m sure he would have enjoyed his outing.

I have seen pets with frilly hats, ribbons, colorful umbrella on strollers/prams built for real human babies. Believe me, I dare not laugh every time I saw those owners with their pets. (I was told that those people couldn't have children, so they transferred their love to the pet instead...)

So this phenomenon is happening all over the world! I thought it was just a trend in my local community! People are taking their dogs everywhere, and it seems like every business and restaurant now allows dogs!

@JudyEv I definitely think it's a bit much! People don't even take their children to as many places as these people take their dogs!

There's a guy here in town that walks around with his dog perched on his shoulder like a bird.

@teamfreak16 I'm not a fan of Chihuahuas. I haven't met a nice one yet.

@JudyEv One lady came to our rummage sale, with her little dog in the basket of her bike. I laughed, it was wearing a darling, turtle neck sweater, sunglasses, and a baseball cap! lol

@kobesbuddy I'm sure dogs know when they are being laughed at.

In France this is becoming a more common everyday. In the US this has been the norm for years. Here on the islands people leave their dogs at home except when they take them to the beach. You don't see people walking dogs on the roads here.

I can imagine peoples faces if I took my dogs everywhere, Harley is a hound and hounds have their own offensive smell that you cannot ever wash away.
