Lady Flying Furball Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I am currently traveling in Scotland and had the pleasure of seeing a Westie in the West Highlands. It occurred to me that they may originate from this very area. The cute thing was he was with his owner and came with us on a cruise of the Loch Ness. Dogs are allowed many places here that they aren't in Australia . 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westiemum Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Oh have a wonderful time LFF! I'd love to travel to Scotland one day (bit of green-eyed monster here!). Yes its incredible how dog friendly the rest of the planet is generally, when compared with Australia. Such a shame - and I have a theory that that lack of public exposure and training (both dogs and the general public) is one of the reasons for our high rates of dog attack... dunno. Anyway have a great time. Pics? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spotted Devil Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 How lovely! One of my pups has just moved to London with his owners. Is living the life in fields, apartments and at the pub. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, @westiemum. Sad really, very sad. I have been told to leave footpath cafe, also a courtyard cafe and once, coming back from Brisbane all the taxis at Sydney were refusing to stop for me .... I had Calypso with me, a 2kg Maltese who was probably cleaner than 99.9% of the drivers and their cabs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juice Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 My mum has a pub in the UK and there are always dogs chilling with owners in there . I walked through the park and families were playing and having picnics, lots of loose dogs runnning upto other families to say hi and no one panicked and screamed like they do here ,.dogs art chilled because they can go everywhere . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PANDI-GIRL Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 I've heard other countries are more dog-friendly , although we did find a sidewalk cafe in Toowoomba that allowed dogs recently, We met friends for a visit to Queen Park, nice day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
