Monkey magic?

Small dogs, and particularly dachshunds and chihuahuas, are now an incredibly common sight in Tokyo, with their continued popularity long outlasting the so-called pet boom of several years ago. A situation that apparel makers, and indeed the dogs themselves, must be very pleased with.

Particularly uncommon sights, on the other hand, are Amazonian monkeys out for a meander with their master. And even more refreshingly, Mon-chan here, unlike his canine counterparts, doesn’t require a coat.

    the Japanese must be feeling really lonely to go to such extremes.
    or really like Paris Hilton?
