Chengdu: It takes just 1,500 yuan ($212.28) at a pet café in southwest China that dyes pups in black and white streaks to resemble the animal that is considered a national treasure. The cafe, which opened last month in the city of Chengdu, has gone viral on social media after owner Lu Yunning dyed his six chow-chow puppies to look like pandas. "There are many dog cafes, cat cafes, raccoon cafes, alpaca cafes and duck cafes. We wanted something novel,” said Lu, 21-year-old who estimates his cafe draws 70 to 80 customers a day. Reuters
