If you’ve ever visited Bruges, a city in Belgium, and walked passed the Côté Canal B&B, chances are that you’ve fallen in love. No, not with a person or the lovely architecture, but with an adorable labrador blissfully napping on the windowsill. And believe me, you’re not the only one. Over the years, a puppy named Fidel who greeted passersby from the window became quite a celebrity.

Recently, a Twitter user named Amy spotted ‘the most famous dog in Bruges’ for the first time
