As well, he should be able to fit under the Biz Class Seat on Af Would love some perspective on how dogs deal with the jet lag.
Thanks.

Slightly OT, I just returned from VCE and I was thinking how much my dog would enjoy walking the city. The dogs were incredibly well-behaved and better adjusted than many dogs here in the US where many stay in yards. I would say at least 50% of the dogs were not on leash, they just followed their owners. I saw many dogs on the vaporetti (don't know if it's actually permitted or the crew just looked the other way) and in the shops. I was amused when a couple of dogs from different shops would wander out and play together and then go back to their stores. Then, the dogs would just lay down in the middle of the street and go to sleep. Pedestrians would just step over them.
Same thing in Dubrovnik and in Greece.
