PHOTOS: Pete the dog travels Europe via yahoophoto
Pete the border terrier, now 10, has lived the life of Riley, traveling across the continent to see famous landmarks on a tour most of us could only dream of.
Natasha said: “We had a friend who was very poorly and we just decided that life is too short, and wanted an adventure and freedom, rather than continuing to work long hours in stressful jobs.” “Pete loves the places that have a beach or a piazza — he loves taking his ball to other people to play with him, particularly kids.“Being able to go on the gondola in Venice was incredible, taking him on massive hikes in the French Alps was just amazing, and walking around Pompeii with Pete was great — and what’s equally wonderful is that you don’t have to worry about your dog being at home, bored.

Pete has been hiking in the Alps, visited historical sites and landmarks like Pompeii, Italy, climbed the Asinelli Tower in Bologna, rode in a gondola in Venice, swam at the Oliva and Denia beaches in Spain, and even worked as chief guest greeter at a chalet in the French Alps where Jo and Natasha were helping out.
