The French have such a wonderful relationship with their dogs. They stuff a shih tzu or two into their Jean-Paul Gaultier expandable handbag and take them on the Paris Metro. They take them to cafes and feed them morsels of pate smeared on toast. They let them deposit their crotte de chien - dog poo in plain Anglo-speak - all over the pavements of Paris without bothering to clean it up which is just so awesome when your gaze is heavenward admiring all that gorgeous architecture and you step in it.
