Living in Hong Kong: A Canine Perspective

When my family told me that I would be taking a pet travel adventure with them to Hong Kong, the first word that came to mind (besides dinnertime) was "hesitation." I’d heard all about the pampered life of Hong Kong pooches and didn’t know if I would fit in. Most of my new friends enjoy the designer collars, organic food, and days out at the spa in Sai Kung, but they love a roll in the grass just as much as the next dog. Our families enjoy walking together at the various dog gardens in the city and ride the 99 bus to The Peak Lookout, which even has a menu for doggie treats. My parents take me to obedience class every Saturday, which is very common in my new city, but I’m rewarded with a cheese-flavoured doggie gelato from Gino’s at Victoria Peak afterward, which is a double win because some of the profits go to help other dogs that don’t have a home. Hong Kong, you are full of surprises!
