]]>The Dog Cafe, located in Los Angeles, California in the United States, is the world’s first dog cafe. This coffee shop, which gives humans the chance to go into a place where they can get a coffee and interact with dogs, is my idea of heaven.

According to the owners of the coffee shop, this allows people to have the chance to fall in love with a dog and to see it in a natural environment where its true personality will shine.
It costs $10 per person per hour to gain access to the cafe, where you will be given a complimentary drink upon entrance.
