Public restrooms for dogs!

Earlier this month, these cage-like public restrooms for dogs were opened in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province.

Each one is 9 square feet and has a base covered with sand. The reason for these restrooms is to give dogs a designated area and create a clean city environment free of dog poop.

However, some citizens say that dogs are reluctant to use these restrooms because they look like cages.

This isnโ€™t the first time that dogs have been given designated public restrooms. Last December, one opened in a community in Nantong, Jiangxi Province.
