The Coolbaby Dog Theme Park, located in downtown Beijing, is said to be the largest dog theme park in Asia. Running between plastic sticks, jumping through hoops and swimming are just some of the many activities available to dogs and their owners at the park. Owning a dog has become popular among people in Beijing. There are now more than 500,000 licensed dogs in the city. Most families in China have only one child due to China's one-child policy, so many people get a dog as a companion. 2006 is the year of the dog, according to the Chinese lunar calendar. http://www.nbc30.com/news/9148222/detail.html |
