The Teresa dog is the sandy coloured dog with a curly tail and his name is Bo. He has been part of the family for a good few years now

BarbaraG:
Looking forward to meeting the little chap in September!

 A few years ago we decided one day to walk up to Avliotes As we passed Olympia a little dog joined our expedition and followed us all the way to Ilias Taverna.We had lunch there and the dog had a drink of water.After a leisurely meal we set off on our walk back to San Stefanos with the dog trotting behind.It was a warm day and several people stopped their cars to offer us a lift(the Greeks never understand why we walk for pleasure) we had to refuse because we couldn't abandon the dog so far from home Our canine companion followed us back to San Stefanos and we left him back where he started outside Olympia.

Jimbo:
That's the wonderful thing about dogs. They join in. They love a walk. They'll scout the land and warn of danger. They'll come and check on you.

A walk without a dog is nice, but a walk with a dog can be wonderful.

Dupnica:
Still on the subject of dogs there was never one like Billy,Manthos' German Shepherd.He formed a bond with our granddaughter when she was very young which was lovely to see.Every day he followed us to the beach and lay in the shade watching over her while she played in the sand and sea.He would pull her out of the sea by getting hold of the frill on her swimsuit if he thought she had been in long enough or was getting too excited.He was so gentle with her but woe betide anyone who got too close.In the end Kostas(sunbeds) had to ask Manthos to keep him at the Taverna as he was scaring off potential customers and chasing scooters.  Most nights he slept outside our apartment and most mornings he was still there..
 She called him "Billy darling" and there was a mutual trust and affection between them and she never abused his good nature .
 Sadly old age and arthritis caught up with Billy,as it does to us all,and he lay down and died peacefully in front of the Church,what more fitting place for such a wonderful dog. Manthos buried him up on the headland beside the little fisherman's Church.No there will never be another one like Billy.
