Color Photo of Resting Dog, Santorini, Greece by James Maher Photography

There are many domesticated but stray dogs in Santorini that walk around the island in packs.  You will often see one of these packs lying together, sleeping and play fighting in the middle of crowded walkways or intersections. 

The dogs are fed by local eateries, residents and tourists, and so they are healthy, as friendly as house pets, and enthusiastic to meet new people.

The dogs are one of the great charms of the island, especially when I was alone with my camera, only to find a dog or pack of dogs that would follow and keep me company.
