The only places I saw dogs in restaurants /bars were Paris and
Switzterland. I have to say that I just don't recall seeing many dogs
at all over there.... anywhere. I saw a bunch of dogs playing in a small
leash free park in Tallinn, Estonia. Our host and hostess in Sweden had
two dogs, and we met a few dog walkers when we were out with their dogs.
I remember seeing a couple Dachshunds in Bavaria. I have been to
Denmark three times and don't remember seeing a single dog there. I was
in Holland only once, but drove the length and breadth of it and don't
recall seeing dogs.I saw lots of dog shit in Paris, but not many dogs.


BTW..... in Sweden they are very civilized about dog feces. They don't
get worked up about it. There are lots of walking trails everywhere, and
there is long grass beside the paths. People curb their dogs. No one
sees the crap and no one worries about it.
