Bruce the Chiweenie is in charge of toy distributi­on in the home. If Louie the French Bulldog momentaril­y loses interest in a toy, Bruce is quick to scoop it up and put it back in his bed for safe keeping. Names: Bruce and Louie Breeds: Chiweenie and French Bulldog Ages: Louie is 1½, Bruce is 4 years old Owners: Roxanne Porlier and Marc-André Fortin Neighbourh­ood: Old Montreal Favourite neighbourh­ood spot to walk in: Right by the Lachine Canal. What do you love about the neighbourh­ood?: There’s always something going on. On a scale of 1-10, how dog-friendly is the neighbourh­ood?: 7. Most cafés let us come in with the dogs and even our neighbour, Mandy’s, let’s us eat inside with them. Would love if more terrasses accepted dogs for a quick bite!
