It is true that in Europe, dogs are often treated as part of the family, and taking them everywhere is a common sight. Many European cities are dog-friendly and offer a variety of options for dog owners. From restaurants and cafes to public transportation, dogs are often welcomed with open arms.

In some countries like France and Italy, it is not uncommon to see dogs sitting at tables with their owners in cafes or accompanying them on shopping trips. In Germany, dogs are allowed on public transportation, including trains and buses, as long as they are on a leash and muzzled. In the Netherlands, dogs are also allowed on public transportation, and some trains even have special areas designated for pets.

European dog culture is not limited to just big cities. Many small towns and villages also welcome dogs with open arms, and some hotels and bed and breakfasts cater specifically to dog owners.
