Dogs in Greece

In many parts of Greece, dogs and cats run free. The state, however, identifies, spays/neuters, provides necessary shots and collars (the dogs) and the animals are allowed to run free, fed by tourists, merchants and residents. Many areas have independent adoption programs.

Springers Attack!

There is a Springer Shangri-La you can visit where English Springer Spaniels romp and play in great open fields like scaled down Appaloosa’s. I am reminded of the time I had a 300-gallon aquarium teeming with tropical fish. When you’d put your hand over the tank to feed them, they’d gather as one to gobble up the flaky food.
