Puppy love in South Korea

At the Bau House Cafe, dogs show up on the couches, on the tables, on the windowsills _ but not on the menu.

Though dog still is a delicacy for some South Koreans, pets are pampered here in ways that top even the United States.

The pets were living out every naughty-dog fantasy, lapping from bowls of shaved ice and barking nonstop. On a typical weekend, the cafe serves 50 to 60 tables of customers each day in this trendy university neighborhood. The humans sip pricey fruit shakes and slurp noodles while the dogs nibble on treats handed out by cafe workers for free.

As South Koreans have become more affluent in the past decade, they have been able not only to afford pets but also to spoil them.
