Mirtillo in the Zoo

Show Off Your Dog
  • Fantastic to be able to take your Dog to the Zoo, we are not so Dog friendly here in England :(

  • I love that Tillo can visit the zoo! He looks so calm in your photos - does he get excited at all when he sees those animals?

    I wish that it were possible to take dogs to zoos here in the US.

  • Brilliant pics Janneke:D just wish we could take our dogs to the zoo here in the UK.

  • Great pics, Tillo had a lot of fun, didn't he :D?
    I'm thinking about take Buju and Masai to Zoo, but I'm still not sure about that. I'm afraid it wouldn't be easy to handle two dogs in such an amazing place :rolleyes:.

    We have 15 Zoos here in Czech Republic and 8 of them allowed to take dogs there.

  • Thanks for all the nice comments :) It's great to bring your dog to the zoo, the animals all react to Tillo, so a lot of them come up to the fence or glass. Tillo is pretty calm, sometimes he hits the glass when the animals are really near by. And there were some monkeys who followed him, so Tillo tried to 'play' with them and everytime he did, they ran away, but came back as soon as he turned around.. :D

    So do I. It would be great if us responsible owners could take our dogs to places like this. Mine would love it.

    However, I think Roxy would feel quite at home in a zoo as I'm sure that's where she belongs! :D

  • Great photos!!! That's so awesome that Tillo could go to the zoo with you. The zoos around here would never allow that…

  • I absolutely love your Zoo photos! If only I could take my dogs :)

    Does Tillo have a favorite animal?

  • Most Fantastic!!! :D:p:D:p

    My most absolutely favorite thread in this forum was the 1st "Mirtillo at the Zoo" (when Mr. Handsome was just a pup)! Now, this is also my favorite!

    It would be really cool, too, if you put a side-by-side photo galllery from the 1st time he was at the zoo and these photos.

    I love pics of all these "hunters" ;), big and small… wild and tame... all of them in one place... Lucky Tillo!

    Great job!!! :D:D:D

  • Great Zoo photos…as usual! Looks like you all had fun, and Tillo made it fun for the zoo animals, too.

  • Fabulous pics! Tillo can't feel lonely, when you take him to places like this ;)

    We are planning to go to a zoo during the next 3 weeks, too.
    I love zoos :o :D

  • Great pictures!

    We went at the 5th of April to the same ZOO! (for our marriage anniversery, without Basenji's)

    Tillo is looking very happy :D

    Thank you :) He was soooooo cute then, wasn't he?! And so brave with the hyenas :D

    I love zoos :o :D

    I love zoos too! Could you tell me what zoos in Germany allow dogs? Same question for Irena, can you give me the info of the zoos that allow dogs? Only the really nice ones of course :D (with a lot of space for the animals.. we don't like wild animals with too little space :))

  • Tillo at the zoo - it looks like you both had a wonderful time, though I think Tillo had a blast. I love that picture of you and Tillo in the plastic bubble. Your Tillo is fortunate to have such a good mom to take him to exciting places. :)

  • Wonderful pictures as always! We in America cannot take our dogs to the zoo, and would really love to! Personally, I'd also love to own a meerkat or two!

  • There is a colony of Meerkats at Lowry Park Zoo (in Tampa) , it is a hoot to sit and watch them.

    Love watching the dogs do agility! Tillo did great…..I guess in that first one he just thought the course should be set up a little different ;-).

    More excellent pictures - i swear Tillo gets more and more handsome! I too am impressed by the weaving but glad that it wasn't mine doing it! I'd be straight over!

    @Elscodobermann: Great pictures as always. There are plenty of people here in Scotland who are desperate to see Tillo in real life! if you do decide to visit i am sure all of us Scottish folk can help you to find dog friendly accomodation - and maybe arrange a basenji get-together somewhere. That sounds wonderful! I think it will be Scotland then for 2010 :) Looking forward to it already! :D Dog friendly accomodations are very welcome! :D
