My friend Julie Wolfson is in Japan, and is sharing some of her photos. This is from a pet store in Roppongi, where the puppy cubicles face the street.

UPDATE: Boing Boing reader Goemon has an interesting comment about this place. He says:

That pet store runs a scam with the hostesses in the area:

The hostess walks by with her "john" and coos about how cute a puppy is. The john is convinced to buy her the puppy/fashion accessory/sex token.

After leaving her john later that night, the hostess returns the puppy to the pet store to get her cut of the sale.

And the cycle continues.
