Singles can feel love and warmth and enjoy a relaxing time with cute dogs at a Shiba Inu café featuring the Japanese breed in Beijing during Qixi, or Chinese Valentine's Day, on Wednesday.

Single people in China often mock themselves as "single dogs" and feel lonely during Qixi.

However, at the Shiba Inu café there are a lot of cute dogs who'd love to be petted and hugged, so it's a wonderful place to spend the special day.

The café, which is located in Sanlitun, can accommodate 10 people and customers can visit, play and take photos with the friendly pups without alarming them.

Sometimes, the dogs will come over to "taste" a customer's drink in the café, which became popular even before Chinese Valentine's Day.

Not only singles, but also some couples have enjoyed the café.
