Whether you have a pooch yourself, or just like to stare at Wellington’s best groomed hounds through a glass window, from Weimaraners and Dalmations to Chihuahuas,The Barking Lot may be one of the happiest places in Wellington. Visiting this place elicits the same warm fuzzies that I assume people experience when visiting Japan’s cat cafes. The Barking Lot is a doggy day care service, but they also offer grooming and training classes, and free entertainment for those of us canine enthusiasts.
