We can often read news from abroad saying that some dog has been stolen from a petshop or a dog has been shot by a neighbour. It’s always shocking to hear something like this when you live in a European Union country like Finland, where we don’t sell dogs in a petshop and well, there have been some schoolshootings yes, but I guess the war between neighbours and dogs is mostly on the newspapers and discussions sites, concerning dog poos on the ground of course, this is a sign that spring is here again.
When the snow melts away there are dog poos around, that’s true, and that seems to be a topic in many countries in Europe, for example in Brussels, but not only in spring or in autumn, but all year long, as there’s not snow to cover anything for a few months in winter. So it seems we share some common topics with other European countries after all.
This is maybe not the most alarming topic in Europe for the moment, but it seems to be a really big topic on the discussion forums this time of year! And when in Brussels, I saw this huge campaign sign in french with a big basset hound trying to find a toilet.
In China, there are restrictions, for example, you could only have one dog in Beijing, and it shouldn’t be taller than 35 cm , otherwise it gets shot. In China, people are too afraid to go for a walk with a dog, and you should have a huge house to own one. Remember, just one small, not two!
In America dogs get shot just like that when they once go accidentally to neighbours garden. Only once.
And in Spain, a huge amount of dogs are without a home wandering around the streets and eventually the homeless dogs will be eliminated in some way or another. In different countries dogs seem to have really different living conditions.
Now it seems that in different European countries dogs have different rules. In some countries dogs can go to a restaurant with people, or walk without a leash in a park. In Finland it is actually against the law! Well, remember that in China, they don’t go to a restaurant with a dog, but to eat a dog.
Maybe we could find common rules for dogs in Europe. Just to make it a better place not only for us humans, but for our best friends too! After all, no matter where the dogs breed is from, the dogs are already a one big community living in several countries coming from all around the world. They are European citizens who have passports just like you!
Breeds are different, that’s for sure, but they are all dogs. The have different habits, but all of them are under one label: dogs. And when people talk about dogs they talk about dogs, not basset hounds or labradors. A dog is a dog and I hope one day a European will be a European. Let’s tolerate one another and even the dogs. Let’s take care of them and treat them well. They bring so much happiness in people’s lives. The poo can’t be that bad after all.
In Japan they have already made it a bigger problem than it is… I hope in Europe we’ll be more understandable and let animals be animals.

Japanese case is amazing! I don’t know or consider it as inventive or another try how to “humanize” our pets. Anyways, nicely written post and as a big fan of dogs I just think they should be treated well. That means: don’t have a dog if you don’t know how to take care of it and don’t be cruel! But yeah, Japanese case is an exaggeration…
