New Dog-Friendly Cafe
On the internet and elsewhere, cats get a lot of love. If you ask us, however, felines can never rival the cuteness and loyalty of dogs. Boris and Horton is the new dog-friendly cafe/retail shop that welcomes canines and their owners to hang out with a cup of coffee and a doggie treat or do a little shopping together.
