I have just had an email from Francis, who was looking after Dino....<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PetsInItaly/~4/A2_vTfbSQaE" height="1" width="1"/>

This heartbreaking story was sent to me from Aurora in Milan, the lady who organised the relocation from Avellino and our adoption of gorgeous Setter Gassi, almost exactly a year ago. Luis is a seven year old English setter who...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PetsInItaly/~4/ymcQGu6u_hw" height="1" width="1"/>

It is always wonderful to hear pet adoption stories, so many thanks today to guest blogger Patrizia a British ex-pat who lives near Como. This is Patrizia's adoption story...

Well, it's coming up to a year now since we adopted Gassie, the mad English Setter, from the Internet and he is still as adorably bonkers as ever. Last night he hauled himself up and over the wire fence, ran...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PetsInItaly/~4/UkjcqBRKDeA" height="1" width="1"/>

I am convinced the answer to this is yes! I have noticed a definite change of behaviour in my pets when there is a full moon. They are more skittish, more prone to unusual or annoying behaviour such as, in...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PetsInItaly/~4/6XTGmejzJSs" height="1" width="1"/>

This lovely dog is Dino. He was found by a British couple who live in a village near Paola about an hour from Cosenza, Calabria. They write : "We were feeding him outside the village for a few days. He...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PetsInItaly/~4/u4JptlabpcI" height="1" width="1"/>

What a morning at the canile! One of the 'scaredy' dogs, Baldo, a lovely hunting dog, had escaped. The whole placed is well fenced, so when I say 'escaped' I mean he was out of his kennel but in the...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PetsInItaly/~4/ihwa7g4xeD0" height="1" width="1"/>
