Dog & Joy

Review
Looking to unwind, we finished a meal nearby and headed to a dog cafe.
Unlike other dog cafes, there was no separate admission fee, and with plenty of resident dogs, it seemed like the perfect place to visit for some relaxation.
Of course, if you bring your own pet dog, an admission fee applies based on your dog's weight.
Parking was available right in front of the cafe, though the space wasn't particularly spacious.

As soon as we stepped through the entrance, adorable dogs rushed out all together to give us an enthusiastic welcome.
Perhaps because of the Chuseok holiday, luckily there were no other guests when we visited.
Basking in the dogs' warm and energetic greeting, we first ordered an Iced Americano.

Right after ordering, we began bonding with the dogs.
Perhaps because they are accustomed to interacting with people, they all seemed to love humans very much.
In particular, a friend named Alpha was incredibly adorable, acting charming and asking for affection the moment we met.
Another friend named Ribbon was also so cute, clinging to our legs and begging for attention.
Thanks to having no other guests around, it was wonderful that all the dogs gave us their undivided love and attention.

As soon as we sat down, Alpha, Mongi, and Ribbon came over to shower us with affection, and naturally, I ended up holding Ribbon first.
Midway through, I also gave Mongi a hug, but the moment I embraced Mongi, Ribbon got jealous and started whining to be held too, so I ended up holding Ribbon the most.

I haven't had many chances to interact with large dogs before, but playing tug-of-war with them gave me a real sense of their impressive strength.
Worried that their teeth might get hurt, I tugged rather timidly at first, but the owner personally demonstrated that it was completely fine to play rough, so I gave it a bold try.
Pulling firmly, I could directly feel the power of large dogs.
At the same time, seeing how they were mindful not to shake too violently so as not to hurt us, I realized just how intelligent they are.

It was a truly wonderful place where you could spend a long time relaxing and connecting with the dogs.
I left with a lingering wish that it were closer to home so I could visit much more often.
