Dino the rescue dog
Aups – France – Oct 2022

Rescue dog Dino is quite a character and definitely knows his own mind. A great guard dog he always lets you know when someone is on the property by giving a few barks at the front door. Although not a young dog he’s always ready for a walk any time of day or night. There are plenty of fields nearby to walk him in and many trails to follow too although we needed to be wary of the Sanglier wild boar out and about which Dino seems to find very interesting, sniffing at their burrows and turned-over soil.

Dino loves to sunbathe on the sun loungers and explore in his garden most of the day and night and likes nothing better than to be outside, that is until bedtime when he likes nothing more than to climb into bed with you! This is definitely not a behaviour we’d encourage you to get your dog into, as once they are accustomed to this little treat there’s no going back and no way of stopping them from joining you and pushing you over to get more room!

Other than this little foible Dino is a great little dog and we’d encourage anyone to get a rescue dog if they can, the younger the better so they can be trained although it’s still possible to train an old dog and most dogs will be so pleased of a kind home they will do your bidding.

Aups is a super part of France with some superb scenery, flora and fauna, restaurants and coffee shops which we greatly enjoy.
