Italians also love their dogs

So it’s not just the French who have a passion for their canine loved ones. On the train from Cinque Terre to Genova yesterday, an elderly couple came on board with their pooch. There were 3 seats available around me - one for the man, one for the woman, one for the dog. They placed a small towel on the seat & the dog jumped up & settled down for the ride. I had to laugh. But the Italians are infinitely better at picking up their dog's poop - something perhaps way too low an act for the French.
