[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]France was the first place I saw people really crazy for dogs. This was in the 1970s. It was way beyond anything I'd seen here. Dogs in stores and restaurants. This is a newer trend in the U.S. When Odysseus comes home to Ithaca, his dog remembers him and they have a sweet reunion. It's not a pathology and it's not only in the U.S. and it's not new to love dogs. Dogs and other pets give us a connection to nature, the earth, animal husbandry, and satisfy our need to care for another and give love. They are there for us and love us in a very special way. [/quote] Same here but it was Belgium for me. Lived there in the 70s and dogs were allowed in restaurants. I could not believe it at the time. It's not just Americans that love dogs so much--it's a worldwide phenomenon and it has increased in the past few decades. [/quote]
