access public relation from a private database

Hello,

I've created a table in public schema,
CREATE TABLE public.foo (fooid SERIAL);

When I try to create a table in database nowhere that references public.foo
table,

CREATE DATABASE nowhere;
\c nowhere;
CREATE TABLE bar (bar integer REFERENCES public.foo(fooid));

I get, ERROR: relation "public.foo" does not exist.

Can I reference public relations from private database?

Thanks,
Steve
