Portenos (the residents of Buenos Aires) love their dogs! As you can tell from these pictures from my walk today through the Plaza de Congresso and the streets of Buenos Aires you see many people walking with their dogs every day. It is very common, as well, for them to be walking their dogs without a leash, although most I saw today were using a leash. And the dogs when not on leash are amazingly connected to their owners, walking very close and never really straying from their side. Even street people have their dogs and even they are amazingly well behaved.
The one down side to their love of dogs is they do not clean up after them. There seems to be no "pooper-scoop" law and so there are numerous piles one must watch out for when walking the streets. And it does not matter the neighborhood - the most upper scale barrios are just as bad as the middle class or even working class places.
