Helline, model

Helline is a Lagotto Romagnolo, an Italian breed.  She lives part of the time in Menton and the rest in Luxembourg. She's three and a half and as you can see enjoys playing 'model.' 

Granddaughter and dog

This old Yorkie belongs to Alain, who lives in Gorbio village. She is being walked (sort of!) by Alain's granddaughter who lives in Senegal.

Tess

Tess is a pointer mix who had a very bad start in life.  She was put into a plastic bag, along with her three siblings, when she was less than a day old - and thrown into a rubbish bin.  Fortunately the puppies' cries were heard by a kind lady who hand-reared the puppies.  Tess is now eight years old.

Elfy

This is a Elfy, a truly cute 6 year old Boston terrier who lives in Paris.  For friends who know Peter Olson (Peter's Paris) this little dog belongs to his daughter.

Cuba ... from Cuba

This cute pup with amazing eyes is called Cuba, which is no surprise because she comes from Guantanamo, Cuba.  She's a 4 month old hunting dog and lives in Dolceacqua, Italy. She was in Gorbio recently with her owners for the 'vernissage' of art (from Dolceacqua) held in the Chateau Lascaris.

Luca

Tiny button nose, too cute for words, this tiny Yorkie was in Gorbio last night for the opening of the most recent exhibition in the Chateau.

He's only two months old, lives in Menton and is called Luca.

Hector

Weirmaraners are SO expressive. Just love this breed. So of course it was great to welcome Hector and his slaves for a stroll around Gorbio village.  In the main photo, Hector is tucked into a niche at the super Restaurant Beausejour in the village.

Hector's owners are good friends who live in Marseille - a city I hope to visit one day.
