Dog's life not so bad

A Chinese couple enjoying a meal with their dog at a pet restaurant in Hangzhou in eastern China's Zhejiang province. (their dog looks majestic!)

The restaurant specially caters to pet owners, banking on growing disposable incomes and changing lifestyles among Chinese. The number of pets in China has reached 100 million and includes cats, dogs, fish and other animals. The profits from China's pet market may be as much as 15 billion yuan (S$3 billion) a year, the official People's Daily newspaper reported last week.
