Have you ever been mobbed by adoring fans or felt the gaze of a hundred eyes? Maybe if you're a pop star! For the rest of us, perhaps feeding time at the koi pond offers a similar experience. But today, we're not discussing piscatorial feeding strategies. Instead, let's dive into the chaotic, tail-wagging tale of "The Great Husky Escape" that unfolded last month.
Pet cafes are all the rage these days, offering a furry twist on your regular coffee break. Cat cafes are purr-fectly trendy, but have you ever stepped into a dog cafe? Imagine one packed with one hundred huskies!
According to reports, this incident occurred at "Haha Husky Cute Pets", nestled within the OCT Harbour Shopping Center (O’PLAZA) in Shenzhen. This popular cafe was born from the owner's deep love for huskies. Unable to keep them at home, she created this unique experience in 2020. For a ticket, patrons can enjoy the usual cafe fare alongside some serious husky interaction – feeding, petting, cuddling, and photo ops galore!
The Great Escape
These energetic pups usually reside within the cafe walls, so why the sudden breakout? Apparently, the huskies were missing their owner! When she finally visited, their excitement reached fever pitch. As fate would have it, a customer opened the door at that very moment, unleashing a wave of furry enthusiasm into the mall.
Despite the presence of a military-trained dog handler, a hundred huskies proved too much to contain. The result? A canine chaos scene straight out of a movie!
Thankfully, most of the huskies were eventually rounded up and returned to the cafe, though a few die-hard adventurers had to be coaxed back. No people or pups were harmed, though a few unsuspecting shoppers may have lost a snack or two to some opportunistic furballs. The cafe has reportedly compensated affected customers, bringing the incident to a peaceful conclusion.
