It was all very strange. Dog rustling in Vienna? As you can see, Asta is quite a noticeable dog. She is very popular wherever she goes and she is usually always by my side.

Considering this jazz locale is in my district and there was no reason for anybody to be there on Sunday night who wasn't local, the rustler was likely to be challenged pretty quickly. Everybody around here knows Asta and if anyone is seen with her, they are usually very quickly challenged with "That's not your dog - where's Simon?"

The strange thing is that she was 'caught and reported to the City Kennels by a 'passer by''? Asta has a collar with my telephone number on it. Why would somebody not call that not number first, before attempting to find the telephone number of the kennels?

Still, she's back.

Yes, she is allowed into restaurants and just about everywhere, except the supermarkets. They ask that dogs travel on public transport with a lead and muzzle - most people ignore the muzzle part. Asta never fights, except to defend herself from an over-amorous dog that she does not like. She is a great studio dog too - if the music is great, she loves it and wags her tail in time to the beat. She has also been known to show her disgust at bad music!
