People are nicer to you when you have a dog
Just something I noticed this weekend as we took our new puppy around our local area in Milan. When you are with the dog people come up to you and talk to you - mainly to pet the pup - but generally smile and greet you etc. Its really nice, and I feel much more attached and happy that I know people in the area now, but got me thinking why is it the case that without a dog in a city you get ignored as usual? Very strange....
However our pup who is friendly with everyone in the world... is not that friendly when confronted with a hairdryer - see below
