This Coffee Shop Turns Into A Home For Strays So Dogs Don't Have To Spend The Night In The Cold!

The conditions of stray dogs across the world is pretty bad. Most of them do not get adopted, or are cared for, eventually dying because of a disease they contract living on the streets, or are put to rest by the animal authorities. If you remember a few months back there was a huge movement to stop the cruel Yulin Dog Festival. Closer home, Kerala has also been criticised for it's cruel plans to cull stray dogs.

Greece too has a problem of strays. People do take little pups in shelter, but many of them also abandon them because they can't afford to keep them anymore. Thankfully, Greece has a place like Hott Spott. A cafe in Mytilene, Lesbos, Hott Spott provides a comfortable place to stay for the strays. Since July this year, they have been letting in dogs to sleep on the couches of their cafe.
