Dogs in Switzerland

This is Nancy again. I hope that a few of you out there will appreciate the observations I have, so far, about dogs in Switzerland or, at least in Geneva. This seems to be a very dog-friendly society. Here are my observations:
1. Dogs are welcome in stores. I have been in Ikea, I have been in drug stores, I have been in markets. There seem to be dogs (mostly very small ones) on leashes IN THE store, consistently. Clearly a different set of health codes (or sensibilities).
2. Doggie poop bags are available from neat (of course) metal dispensers on all city streets. There are trash receptacles on most corners, and there are yellow dispensers of doggie plastic bags on most corners with cute little pictures of dogs on the dispenser in case you were to mix up the purpose of the bag.
3. The incredible park across the street from us is huge, beatifully manicured, and is generally spectacular. It has sections for different purposes - the section with the huge playground, the section with the soccer field, the section with the rose garden, and, of course, the section with the dog run.
I imagine most of these dogs respond to commands in multiple languages as well.
