Doggy Dining: Netizens in Uproar Over a Hungry Little Doge

Recently, a photo of a dog dining at a restaurant in Sanlitun's the Opposite House spurred heated debate among netizens. The depicts a table on which lay a variety of dishes, a shiba with a bib is licking the food left in the bucket, (not a plate for humans) and two paws perched upon the table.

The manager at the restaurant responded and said that they would enhance the regulations and guided their customers to take their dogs to outside dining spaces. The hotel also posted a response claiming that the dog was feeling ill, so it needed special treatment.

But others chimed in with objections: “The restaurant is a public space. Pet-lovers can do whatever things they want at their houses, but you have to take other people's feelings into consideration.” And another, “What if a dog acts out and starts barking or knocking over the tables or chairs?”

There are also customers who have food allergies or who don’t like dogs. "Pet owners need to realize pet is just a pet. Can't someone take them to a pet store?” One netizen commented.
