maybe there are animal rescue centres in Japan as there are her in UK. sadly there are far too many animals treated badly and neglected here-- just now too many staffordshire bull terriers end up in shelters.

I hate the idea of the animal cafes in Japan-- it is so unnatural-- but nowadays designer dogs seem to be the rage. I hate it--when breeds are deliberately crossed as is happening here. Our local paper is full of adverts for these designer dogs and they cost sometimes more than a single pedigree breed.

In the old days mongrels were usually available free-- result of accidental matings when dogs roamed the streets.

I recently saw some adverts for pug puppies at a thousand pounds.

People need to think seriously before buying a dog of any kind. It should be a committment for life.
