We had a very nice bonding in Frankfurt and of course when you travel with a beautiful puppy you can just about do anything!

In Frankfurt, I made a special place on the bed for him and when I woke up , he was snuggled up on my next sound asleep.

We were very lucky on our way from Frankfurt to Vancouver. Lufthansa upgraded me to first class so Ben Otto was a celebrity and the flight crew had their pictures taken on the German dog immigrating to Canada!

He slept most of the way and only barked at me once to play with him.

Frederick is not sure and is starting to warm up that Otto is not going to go back home.

I am just settling in to work and will send you photos on Tuesday or Wednesday of the trip home and also from Vancouver.

Last  but not least, I wanted to thank all of you for your kind hospitality and I hope friendship. Gisela , you are amazing and I can not thank you enough for the fine lunch.

Heinz , you are so proud of your puppies and you should be you have amazing daschunds. It was very nice to meet your granddaughter and your family next door.

Susanne, thank you again for the ride back to the airport, I hope we all meet again very soon and pictures to come! And almost forgot to translating for me.

Speak to you all very soon.

With friendship Rob
