In this conversation

We share stories about life with Alba, our Samoyed, from adopting her to finding her place in our daily life as people who moved abroad and made Norway home.

We talk about cultural and legal differences between France and Norway, including adoption, neutering and walking rules. We explore dog-friendly Oslo, from transport and cafés to nature and meeting people, as well as the surprises — and occasional disagreements — of training a dog and navigating Norwegian rules.

A funny, honest and practical conversation for anyone who has, or dreams of having, a four-legged companion in Norway.
