Alex: a travel dog's life

I am an adventurous Golden Retriever and I love being on a roadtrip! Since I was born in May 2019, I have discovered 33 countries already. Over the years, I have stolen the hearts of many across Europe and I have learned how to become an exemplary travel dog. From busy shops to a hotel lobby or cosy restaurant — I promise I'll behave well :)
