Some me people treat their pet dogs like humans. Here are two businesses that might interest them. The Bau House Caf in Seoul, South Korea, is designed with both dogs and people in mind. At this unusual caf, dogs are allowed to sit on the tables, couches and windowsills. Everything in the caf is waterproof, even the paint on the walls. A mop, a towel and rolls of toilet paper are kept nearby in case theres any mess to clean up. Fifteen dogs live at the caf, and others come to visit with their owners. Some customers drop their dogs off at the caf even for several days when they go on holiday. The caf is also popular with people who cant afford a dog, but enjoy the company of dogs. The caf has got a normal menu for its human customers which includes fruit drinks and noodles. Caf workers hand out treats to the dogs for free. Although dog meat is still a delicacy in some Korean restaurants, it does not appear on the menu here. Another service for dogs and their owners is www.DogCatRadio.com, an Internet radio station for pets that must remain at home alone while their owners go to work. The station plays a lot of disco music and owners say their pets love it. Although some songs have got pet themes, like Elvis Presleys Hound Dog, most are no different from the songs on a normal radio station. Many dog owners are enthusiastic about the new station because they feel that certain music calms their pets. Cristal Newell, the owner of a dog day-care centre in Denver, comments that jazz and light rock help dogs calm down , while heavy metal and hip-hop drive them out of control. However, animal experts maintain that there are no studies proving that music affects animals. Perhaps the appeal of the radio station is that it makes the owners feel that they are taking care of their pets in the best way possible.
