Tess and ball
Tess and ball. We've met Tess before on Riviera Dogs - she was found at 24 hours old, along with her three brothers and sisters, tied up in a plastic bag and thrown into a rubbish bin. The pups were hand-reared by the kind lady who found them - and look at Tess now. 6 years old and one happy dog.

Harley the Bloodhound
Bloodhounds are not for everyone (as you see they do drool!) but I, for one, love them. This is Harley, he's 5 years old and he lives in Monaco. Harley ended up in a refuge in Belgium and from there he was rescued by his current and forever owners. Lucky boy!

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.

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.

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.

'Ours' after two months
Some of you have kindly asked how 'Ours' = Bear (pronounced Orse) my newly adopted dog is coming along. Well here he is after two months here - he loves the garden, he plays BUT he is still terrified of any visitor and lives in fear of the someone coming through the front gate. But there is progress - and of course I'm in love!

A pat on the head
A pat on the head by a stranger for this little Cavalier who has been tied up, in the shade. He is more interested though in watching his owner, who came back for him almost immediately.

Monaco Dog Show - Chinese Crested
They say dogs look like their owners! Well in this case I think it's true. Pretty lady, pretty dog at the Monaco Dog Show. This is a Chinese Crested dog, which is hairless, except for head, lower legs and tail. (There is a variety called the 'powderpuff' that has hair on the body as well).
