Dog Report From Denmark

I am wrapping up my quick trip to Copenhagen– arrived on Saturday at noon and we’re leaving Tuesday morning at 8 am– yes it’s insane, but it has been great.

Tivoli Gardens-Oldest Amusement Park

Aside from seeing all the sites, as the crazy dog person I am, I have been on the hunt to meet as many dogs as I can, and if possible give and get the maximum number of Danish puppy kisses. Clearly I’m a dog addict.

Anyway, thus far I have met about 5 dogs, and seen about 15 or so- that’s restraint I say. When I get home, I will post a picture of my favorite, Sima, a Jack Russell Terrier Rough Coat that gave me lots of kisses. Other than Sima, I saw a Rottie, a Cavalier, a Beagle, a few Goldens, some working Shepherds with police officers, two Labs, a Scottie, a Bernese Mountain Dog, some Poodles, Doxies, Chihuahuas and a Westie. I have to say they were all extremely well cared for which is always nice to see!

Danish Police Dog

I saw most of these dogs by our hotel, the Scandic. The hotel is sadly a little more Soviet circa 1972 than Danish modern chic, but what it lacks in charm it makes up for in location. It’s across the across the street from a jog/walking path that goes along one of Copenhagen’s many water ways. It’s quite picturesque with swans, ducks and a water feature that shoots water into the air.

Waterfront Park

And of course my favorite part was the many  dogs I got to see on their daily walks. I even got to see a few of  them multiple times as I sat outside and enjoyed the unusually warm for  Copenhagen weather.

I will be coming back to the states tomorrow first to Philadelphia, then New York, and then Boston where I plan to continue my intercontinental dog tour!
