When I first posted a review on Google Maps it was about my negative experience. It’s very sad, however, I wanted to prevent very sensitive people like me to avoid places where they can get emotionally hurt. Fortunately, I didn’t continue with this kind of attitude and I just wanted to explore and share.
To be honest, I’ve never asked myself if my experience makes any difference and what I can do for the greater good. This question brought me to one of the most important things in my life, my dog whose presence makes me calm, confident and happy. After living in Czech Republic for 3 years I found myself not being prepared to ‘dogs-notfriendly’ community in Montréal, Canada. Unfortunately, there’re not that many dog parks and places where you can go with your dog. You can’t even take the bus. But it didn’t stop me from socializing my dog. Every day is a challenge for us. We walk everywhere we can. Sometimes, we come to the restaurant to take something to go. Some places don’t allow my dog in, some can tolerate.
I decided to share the dog-friendly places since I see more and more Montrealers get dogs. It is the perfect time to make the difference and I believe my dog and I will prove should be welcome in the town. I hope my sharing would encourage other places to change their policy.
