Cat and dog, Saignon

 

Dog and truck, Saignon

Looked sad on a cold day.

Saignon

Typical night in Saignon, walking to dinner, encountering a dog carrying a shopping bag.

Beware of dog sign, Lourmarin

Janie and Belle, chez Chaix, Saignon

Our friends Mary, Frederic and Orlando have been adopted by a Great Pyrenees who has been renamed Belle. This is Janie's reaction to Frederic and Mary's avowal to hope that her real owners show up.

Sad and happy news, the owners have been found and the pup is going home. Sad for Mary and her family, but good news for the owners who must  have despaired.

Walkers, Arles

I got the impression that these were locals, out for a dog walk. Hard to be sure, as the French seem to bring their dogs everywhere.

Man and dog, Villars

Friends, Saignon

Very few things in the world are closer than a boy and his dog.

Janie and friend, Apt bike path, East.

Every year on our walks we run into a lost dog that adopts us briefly. This guy hung around for about two miles and then adopted a girl running the other way.

Dog friend, Bonnieux walk.

We were on our usual Bonnieux walk when this guy decided to join us. He walked with us for a couple of miles, stopping in the shade and taking little side trips to taunt yard bound dogs. Then he joined a young runner and left us.
