There’s something about seeing a dog casually weaving through stalls that makes the market feel like a true local spot.
These dogs typically live right here in the city. They belong to vendors or nearby residents, and spend their days between the stalls at Sant’Ambrogio, Santa Croce, and other local flea markets. They know exactly where they’re going!
They find shade when they want it, water bowls are set out by vendors, and they recieve attention from many people. The pups move around confidently because they know the routine and the people.
Markets can get crowded and traffic is also close, so there is always some risk. However, these dogs are street smart, and the vendors do keep an eye on them. They’re familiar with the space and handle it well.
