The whole pet thing changed dramatically in the four years we spent in China. Used to be we would be out walking our dog and be a novelty though there were indeed others with dogs. But now there are dogs everywhere and yep lots of people have more than one. Heck and there were big dogs as well though with dang near everybody living in apartments that was hard to fathom.
Our complex had workers who went around and cleaned up the dog poop as well(actually I think it just got incorporated into their cleaning duties).
You name it and it's sitting there now. In the time we were there Walmart, 7-Eleven, Pizza Hut, Dairy Queen and on and on and on moved into Tianjin and Beijing had them long before that.
They really couldn't prevent the Chinese people from seeing what is going on around the world and now that more and more of them have cash to spend they want everything from Blizzards to Tibetan Spaniels(threw that in because that is the dog we had there and now because we brought it back with us).
