Belgian dog owners...

Is there anyone out there who owns a dog and lives in Belgium, or has done so in the past?

Newsweek has declared Belgium to be the best place to live for dog owners, and I'm writing a piece about it. I'd love to speak to/tweet with/exchange emails/buy you coffee this week if you have any insights or views as to why this might be!

They have to be kidding! What are they basing it on?? I had a rottweiler for six years (until she had to be put down due to severe arthrosis), and while there were issues, my biggest problem was finding someone to care for her over the day while I was at work. Best place for dog owners? Not in my mind, as finding dog sitters is one of the top priorities! Sure you look at all those ads on xpats offering dog sitting, but does it work in practise ... not really ... sigh .. feel free to contact me if you want ... but it's been fours years that I am without dog ... and I still haven't found a good day-time solution. Else I would have gotten a new dog ...
