Dogs of Greece

Hi all
Sorry for no posts-I've been on vaca in Greece. We went to Athens, Santorini and Crete. Before I went, I had read in my guide book that there are lots of stray dogs and cats there. I was pleasantly surprised-there were dogs and cats on the street, but most of them had collars and were looked like they were pretty well fed, so I didn't feel too bad for them. Usually at each monument there were one or two lounging in the shade. At a few places they collected money to pay for the care of stray animals. It was hard not to interact with them because they all seemed friendly, but I didn't want to risk bringing back any parasite or something to my own two waiting at home.
