In fad friendly Japan, it’s somewhat surprising to find that the predominantly dog-driven pet boom is still in full force, with miniature mongrels in particular now mainstream.
However, while these cloyingly cute canines get cooed at in commercials and kitted out in clothing, at least one or two product designers are thankfully prepared to paint a less pleasant picture of such pampered pooches.

Another excellent find Lee 🙂

I thought most dogs in Japan live outside of the house? The homestay I stayed at in Aichi-ken, the dog never came inside.

That still seems to be the case for a lot of dogs Peter, especially the larger ones. But the mindbogglingly popular miniature ones seem to have secured accommodation indoors. And anyway, their clothes would get terribly dirty if they were outside all the time…
