Every dog has his day - at Happy Bark Day cafe in Dubai

Gulf Today, Staff Reporter

Dogs are highly pampered these days. In fact, it has become a fashion for dog owners to strut their four-legged possessions around the neighbourhood as though they were jewels in their crowns.

These dogs are taking part in, hold your breath, beauty contests, undergo spa treatments and even flaunt designer wear, be it clothes or sunglasses! There is a thriving market to cater for their luxury tastes of clothing and comfort.

They even take part in contests: three years ago, a wire fox terrier won “the Best in Show” gong at a New York show beating 3,000 barking, tail-wagging competitors.

Some dogs even have their own psychic!

A family we know treat their pet dog as though it were one of them: it goes with them on shopping sprees, on car rides, walks around the neighbourhood, sleeps on their bed and gets very emotional if one of them were to leave the house.

One of the girls in the house calls the creature her daughter.

Dog lovers will be delighted to learn that there is even a Happy Bark Day café for these adorable creatures. Guess where this unique eatery is? Where else but in the world’s top trailblazing city, Dubai.

Dogs come to this hangout with their owners sporting high-end eyewear and fancy outfits, looking as trendy as trendy can be.

They are treated to food shaped as cupcakes, sushi and cheese.

Truly, 'dogged' devotion knows no end.
