A DOGS’ RESTAURANT.

Cats and dogs can now have quick lunches and dainty dinners under pleasant conditions and at moderate prices at the Domestic Animals’ Restaurant, opened by Mr Blackwell, an old caterer for animals, in Rochesterrow, London. He has already a large clientele, most of his customers being daily diners.

They come in at all hours, either by themselves or in their owners’ arms, and eat meat and other delicacies out of nice white enamel dishes. Some of them having friends, who are generally so impressed that they also come again. There are many animals who ‘drop in” from time, to time when times are bad at home, and they feel the need of sustenance. Prices are very moderate, and there are no “tips.” All the regular customers pay weekly. They generally bring the money themselves, either in an envelope between their jaws, or tied round their necks. Many, it is said, insist on having receipts. Hie thoughtful proprietor makes every effort to study his “patrons” comfort and convenience, and has provided a lethal chamber at the roar of the premises.
