As a dog lover, I always notice dogs wherever I go. It's interesting and sometimes disconcerting how pets are treated in different countries and even in our home cities.
In Peru, there were hundreds of dogs and cats roaming the streets hungry and dirty. It appeared that having a dog or cat as a pet was not very common.
I recently returned from a trip to Colorado, which is at the top of the list of dog-friendly states. I was visiting a friend in Fort Collins-- a college town 65 miles north of Denver.
On a lovely and warm Thursday afternoon, my friend dropped me off to hike at Horsetooth Reservoir. The cutie in the picture above is one of the many I saw that day. It was more likely for a hiker to have a dog than not. I loved it! I was happy to stroll along and pet every dog I came across.
Later on, when I was in the Avon and Vail area, I saw adorable pups as well but not as many as in Fort Collins. So, as far as recent trips are concerned, I am deeming Fort Collins the most dog friendly, at least for now.
