paris: Dog Sense

The holidays are for dogs just as much as their owners. Many pets will find their portrait in Paris in their stockings this year...

I was listening to Dr. John Bradshaw and his quite revolutionary ideas on our relationship with dogs. You can catch him on: NPR and
The Guardian and the BBC

His book, Dog Sense came out in April (called In Defense of Dogs in the UK) and will change the way you think about your pet. Stop looking at your poodle as a dog in wolf's clothing. Learn how to leave the house without giving you pet a Valium. And why the pack theory is not really servicable.

Do we pamper our pets too much? (These are 'dog' chocolates of course!)

In Paris, dogs want to be 'cool' though so far there is not Coca-Cola for dogs. Many have been seen hightailing it to the newest specialty shop in the Marais...
