After living here for over two months, we've noticed that the dogs in Edinburgh are the best behaved dogs in the world. Apart from walking down a crowded sidewalk, almost all dogs here are not on leashes. Normally this would result in mass hysteria with dogs running all over the place and destroying everything. Here, dogs always stay close to their owner and I have yet to see two dogs get in to a fight. The greatest example of dog behavior here has to be at the grocery store. It never fails that each time we go grocery shopping, there is always a dog sitting perfectly still right outside the store just waiting for their owner to return. They are never tied up outside the store, just sitting there even in freezing cold temperatures and rain. We've also seen a homeless man who has a dog and while the man sits on the sidewalk, his dog is sitting in front of him holding his hat in it's mouth to collect coins. We have all sorts of new tricks to teach bear when we get home.
