She Owned Her Native Taverna...
Basically she did, with some friendly instructions from the personnel who were obliged to pay respect to the dog owned by the daughter of the owner of the taverna. - And we customers, in one body, just pampered Nina...

At Nina's Taverna...
There were about ten tables in this taverna well off the main street, a steep climb off the sreet (but heading nicely towards our up-the-hill place of sleep). And there were two waiters. Both personalities. And what is important, there was far more personnel in the kitchen conjuring the excellent meals that gave freedom for the waiters to be such personalities. - When one's back is fully backed, one's front can be charmingly open.

The Charm And The Sincerity...
The younger waiter, a quicksilver in a positive sense, had a photographic memory for not only one thing. First an excellent memory of the wine we had ordered the previous time, and which he sensed we wanted again, and again. When I said: "For the wine...", he just nodded knowingly, to our full agreement. - And secondly his recommendation for the food was based on, and giving a new alternative to, the meal we had enjoyed the previous time. - And what is even more important: if I had something else in mind, he was knowingly knowing that their kitchen would deliver that perfectly to my taste. And it always did.

The other waiter was more like a Finn ;-) Not folding the napkin to the shape of a sailboat at first encounter like the quicksilver, but taking you (and particularly one special client) to his heart. And he also had the friendly relationship to our beloved Nina! (A piece of music by the Swiss band called "Stimmhorn" would be most appropriate here to wish for the happy sounds!)

Later On In The Evening...
It was actually our last evening in Moraitika, Corfu. And this truly happened: Nina walked us home, to our up-the-hill place of sleep. And then she bent her head left, to be scratched from the right, at the corner bending to our place.
