Naples Dog Bark (Thiago)
Just look at the expression on this lady's face and you can see the pride she has in her dog. And love for him as she walks from the Spanish quarter of Naples every day all the way to the dog park so he can run and play with the others. He mostly stays with her though as his instinct is to guard her. His name is Thiago and he's a Rottweiler mix.

Naples Dog Park (Ivy and Theodore)
A dog park in a city is such a great idea. Here, in Naples, Ivy, the American Staff and Theodore, a Golden Retriever mix are having the best fun - even if it does look as if they are having a fracas. They are not!

Naples Dog Park (Ivy)
This is the dog park attached to the Church of Santa Chiara in the centre of Naples. Such a great place for dogs to run and play. This is 10 month old Ivy, an American Staff with her beautiful owner, Mirabela. Seems to me all the girls in Naples are beautiful - and so, of course, are the dogs.

Micky, the Beagle is an Italian Agility champion - he's 8 now and retired from aglity because he has a hip problem. Brandon on the right is a mix of a Golden retriever and a Maremma sheepdog - he's 1 and a half year old and is currently undergoing agility training. As you can see both these dogs are beautiful behaved.
