If you’ve been reading my blog, you probably know that we love dogs. Not surprisingly, we seem to bump into a few pretty much wherever we go (probably also because we go looking for them). Some have been friendlier than others, but almost all have found their way into our camera. So here, just for fun, are a whole lot of cute doggies we’ve met on our travels.

Every vacation is special for us, with lots of new things to discover and lots of new experiences to have. But add a few furry babies into the mix, and that’s when we believe a vacation is truly complete. Which is why we try and make sure we keep pictures of all the cute doggies we’ve met on our travels.

I love this post, mate. It’s clearly a work of passion. I also think it’s really cool that you put in some time and effort to support street dogs.
Thanks, Stefan! I think I’ll have to update it soon, considering we ‘just happen’ to meet so many doggies wherever we go 😀
Wow. You’ve sure met some cute doggies while traveling. Love this post!!
Thanks, Lannie! We tend to go looking for them, too 😁
PMG- so many adorable doggies! You have captured an awesome photo journal of dogs around the World! So many different breeds but all looked happy! Great, uplifting post- has me smiling from ear to ear!
Haha, thanks Cindi! I’m so glad it made you happy. Objective achieved 😊
They are all just so cute. The Goldie in Sydney looks like my old girl.

What a great collection of good doggos! Also, a very unique theme for a post.
Haha, thanks! The COVID situation was getting me down, and remembering all these furballs made me feel better, so I thought it might do the same for others too 😊
