Dogs in Art at the Louvre

Jeune Homme et Chien at the Louvre
Over the holidays I had the chance to take a lovely trip to England and France. This time I traveled without Rocco, though you might remember some of our fun international trips with Cosmo.

So just to get a little dog fix during my trip, I set about to find all the dogs in art at the Louvre in Paris. In this one, the dog looks like a Havanese to me, and it's thought to have been created about 375 - 350 B.C. in Greece.

We visited the Louvre on a Friday night when it's opened late. The lines to enter were short at that time but the museum was still PACKED with people!

    I like the dog under the table. Was it enough of a dog fix?

    You could have traveled with me since I was born in the UK and am a French Scent Hound, but second thought, I have already made the flight over the pond once and that was really enough. Glad you had a lovely time.

    Awesome! My dad also loves taking photos of dogs in art when he goes to museums. On a recent trip to London, he took a photo of the Molossian hound at the British Museum!

    Cool! Dogs have been members of the family for thousands of years.

    While hunting dogs and guard dog breeds, can have learned to be very independent or see many objects as prey or to be dominated, they don't have to be. dog walking
