Our English Bulldog friend!
Today Ryan and I split from the group and spent the afternoon exploring Maastrticht. We came to realize that although Maastricht isn’t that large of a town, it does have three universities! While we were walking, we came across a man, who was taking his English bull dog for a walk, but was stopped while the dog took a break. The way the dog was sprawled out on the sidewalk was just comical, so we stopped and chatted with the man. It was quite the experience! The man spoke rather broken English, but he explained that the dog was getting old, and no longer enjoyed the warm weather. We also think he told us that he used to fight the dog in the area and that “the police no like him.” Although the man was very friendly, and we were enjoying the attempts on both of our parts to understand him, we were both starting to get a little leery of this dog. We did both pet him though, and he seemed friendly… I could see why people would be nervous though! It was a good experience to talk with the man because even though we couldn’t understand everything he was saying, he just kept trying in the friendliest manner. Although I had the mindset that Europeans don’t care for Americans, I’m finding that everyone I’ve met so far is much friendlier that I believe Americans would be. Go figure.
