CHAPTER 1: A NEW KIND OF CAFÉ:

In cities all over the world, people go to cafes to relax alone or with friends. They drink coffee and sometimes have a snack. But in many cafes in Korea, you can do more than that. You can relax and play with dogs at new “dog cafes.”

At the DOG café, you can choose a dog to play with. The dogs are in cages around the room. First, you choose a dog. Then it comes out of its cage. Sometimes, it sits on your lap. You can but food for the pet, too.

The Bau House is different from the DOG café. You don’t have to choose a dog at the Bau House. All the dogs sit, play, or run around, while people drink coffee and eat sandwiches. You can play with all the dogs at the Bau House.

Lori Cheong goes to the DOG Café about twice a week. All the dogs there are very friendly. But Lori likes to play with Princess, her favorite dog. She often buys food for Princess, too. Lori likes to go to DOG Café for many reasons. “I love dogs, but I live in a small apartment in Seoul. It is too small for a dog. Also, dogs don’t like to be alone, and I work all day.” So when Lori needs to have some fun with a pet, she goes to the DOG café to see Princess.
