A dog’s tale

VICTOR TEIXEIRA - LMDI Portugal is open for business! It’s hard not to get political over decisions made by neighbouring governments regarding their own and each other’s Covid-19 situations. The last few weeks have seen Portugal blacklisted as a holiday destination as...

VICTOR TEIXEIRA - LMDI Last month we wrote about how bringing home new puppies or rescue dogs had saved so many of us during lockdown. We got so many stories and photos that we had to split the issue into two parts for the first time since the start of this DogBlog....

VICTOR TEIXEIRA - LMDI After 3 months of lockdown, with more or less restrictions depending on where you're reading this from, you'd be forgiven for not recognising your previous life - or yourself for that matter. Some of us have changed jobs (and industries), some...
