One of my sons lived in Lyon, France and sent me pictures of all the places dogs could hang out with their people. I visited him and we spent some time in Paris same there! I think it is beautiful! You are right the dogs bring people together.

Susanna! You have outdone yourself. The article is such a hoot! Knowing Luni makes it even funnier. I never realized that the French had such a soft spot for doggies! Anyway, I'm glad you have him and that he has you! Much love, Wissie

Sus, he has his own passport?! I love it. I howled while reading this. It is just wonderful and "so you"! Many thanks and much love, Judith

Oh, thanks so much Judith. Very glad I made you laaugh. And yes, should have added a caption. He has his health papers to travel in Europe which they put in a cute little passport folder. So I guess yes, he has an EU passport, and I don't. Ha.

I guess I'm getting a dog if I move to France, lol.

Absolutely. Under 17 pounds and they can fly on Air France under the seat....

The part about you sneaking around the apartment trying not to wake up Luna is just hilarious!

Never change Susanna & Luni, please never change. (Unless it's to become more wonderful, of course).

This is so great. Luni is the Jerry Lewis of dogs to the French.

This is absolutely wonderful! I'm so glad you have Luni, your very own Ambassador to France.

Would Parisians dote on my 20 lb. Maine Coon cat, Sweet Pea? I would send a photo of her; however, I am technically challenged.

Precious! I love that you know all of the dogs names....and maybe not their owners? Ha! That is how it is in our neighborhood too!
