A major shopping centre has announced its dog-friendly status and invited pooches inside for the very first time - but it's caused quite a stir in the dog community. Silverburn in Glasgow shared the news of its trial period and stated that it now has water bowls and waste bag stations located throughout the mall to welcome pet owners.
A selection of retailers will also have paw print vinyl stickers on their windows to indicate dogs are allowed inside, including H&M, Waterstones, The Fragrance Shop, Paperchase, and Krispy Kreme. While the new rules have been praised by many avid shoppers, others believe it is "crazy" and could pose a "huge problem" for people with allergies or fears.
