There are shops on fashionable streets in New York City, for example, that sell gold and diamond collars, fur jackets, and hats for pets.
In many countries of the world, there is special food for pets. It is common for supermarkets in many places to sell cat food and dog food. However, in Nice, France, there is a special restaurant for dogs.. Dogs are the only customers. There is seating for twenty dogs, On the menu, there is a variety of special tasty dishes for the dogs to choose.

However, they do not see them as equal to family members. Pets around the world live in a great variety of ways, just as people do.
