Raoul's travel adventures: The world through a pug's eyes

Raoul, the traveling pug may have a future as a dog travel consultant. "I love to travel, enjoy napping on anything wool or with down feathers, and I adore brussel sprouts!" he writes in his profile that also highlights his interests and favorite books.

This dog's blog "Raoul's Travels" is utterly charming and a breezy read, chock full of pictures with captions that highlight Raoul's world travels. Just this week, he visited Zurich where the pig's ears were every dog's dreams. Raoul has lived in Geneva for the past three years.

Travel from Raoul's life is the pace we might all enjoy. Visits with friends in parks, taking delight in the simple things--like a hole, or that great nap in a seat to ourselves. Then there are those dogs (or people) that make our heart skip a beat with a casual chat on a sidewalk. Raoul's heart pitapat came from meeting up with a poodle who he describes as "foxy."

As for the people Raoul travels with, I'd say they've discovered an excellent way to reduce stress during their own adventures, much better than taking a fake baby around. [Thanks to Darren Cronian who posted a link to Raoul's blog on Twitter.]
