 | Pompeii The dogs Reviews | 1 - 10 of 11 |  |
There were so many dogs in Pompei that my friend Jenny started writing poetry about them(and performing it). Her classic was the poem "Mange Dog" l can only remember the one line..."I offer you orange....you can eat nothing"
Anyway, I wouldn't get to close to them, but they seemed harmless enough. Leave a Comment

 Pompei bakery... by CandS
I didn't pat any because I wasn't sure if they were 'safe' but they looked friendly enough and I wished I had taken something for them to eat. Leave a Comment

 Dog day by TinKan
Do not trust all of the dogs here as some of them were quite mean and nasty when people went to pet them. Leave a Comment

The dogs are quite numerous. I was told they have been collected at one time by the humane society and "fixed" , immunized and then let out. This is in place of euthanizing them, so that at least seems cool. Leave a Comment

When I was in Pompei there were a lot of dogs in the Ruins of Pompei. At first I thought they were there just "guard dogs" or something, because one of them followed us around and I thought it was probably trained as maybe an animal tour guide (?). They were pretty dirty and their behavior was strange. It was a hot day when we were there, so they would just fall to the ground and take a nap. After reading other tips about these dogs, I'm wondering if anyone knows why those dogs are there? Leave a Comment

While we were in Pompeii I was surprised (even though I had heard about them) by the number of stray dogs in the area. You find yourself (if you are a dog lover) feeling a bit sorry for them. Most are very mangy looking and pest riden. They will mostly leave you alone if you leave them alone and I would suggest doing so. While visiting just recently we witnessed a dog become very agressive with a tourist. She was older and had bent to allow the dog to sniff her hand when he decided to bite instead. There was no one official to help so people nearby helped her. Moral of the story - leave the dogs alone.
