Buenos Aires seems to have more dogs than most cities. In the early mornings and evenings, dog owners walk their Yorkies and Goldens and even a Boston Terrier or two. When we see the Bostons, we miss ours, Rosie, all the more.

Sometimes we see clumps of dogs tied up on the sidewalk, no owner in sight.

These are the charges of professional dogwalkers, and there are a lot of them in Buenos Aires. What's happening in the picture above is a dogwalker has been let into a building by a doorman to collect another canine client. The others are waiting for him patiently, the way that dogs can.

Even though they are a common sight on the streets of the city, dog packs attract attention. It's because so many people here love dogs, and in a bunch of six or eight dogs, they're sure to see one they like.

Owners and dogwalkers alike clean up after the furry little poopers. The streets are immaculate. The blue thingies in the guy's backpack are plastic bags carried for the purpose.

When everybody has been picked up, they go to a park to play off leash. Dogwalkers bring plenty of water and treats. Here a Dalmatian mix scarfs a goodie. A German Shepherd sees that it's handout time and is hurrying over to get his share.

Any city that loves dogs is OK in my book. For me, it's Good Reason #7 to live here.
