Dogs are welcomed in many aspects of life in the city of Paris. While in the United States dogs are usually not allowed in bakeries, cafes and stores, in Paris they are welcomed into the businesses. Interestingly, parks in Paris are off limits for many dogs, even when on a leash, though the restrictions are not strictly enforced. Smaller dogs are even welcomed on public transportation.

A dog from television winds up in Paris in the movie Rugrats in Paris: The Movie. Spike, a regular canine character from the television series, winds up lost in the streets of the city, where he winds up meeting a stray Poodle named Fifi, with whom he falls in love.
