In some countries, the daily life of dogs can be quite different, especially in regions where the winter is long and rigorous and the animals have to face temperatures below 0 ºC. How do they live?
We arrived in Minnesota (USA) six months ago. Moving to another country is never easy even more when you have some pets. Tiny and Tuly are two minipinchers who have been part of our family for just over two years.
