An elegant, white-haired Parisian savours a biscuity cloud of cream and apple down to the last crumb at one of the French capital's many bakeries – but this client has four legs not two.
Loulou, a fluffy Pomeranian dog, polished off a €5 Merveilleux made from banana puree, cream cheese, apple and beef.
The one-year-old pup is a regular at this dog bakery, where the treats lined up under a glass counter – like the heart-shaped Le Mignon made with sweet potato, cream cheese and blueberry – look almost good enough for humans to eat.
French owner Clara Zambuto said that adopting Hulk, her three-year-old Pomeranian, inspired her to open the canine-friendly patisserie, where dogs and their humans can indulge side-by-side.
“I’d often go for walks with him... pop into a cafe like a proper Parisian, but he’d soon get bored,” said the 26-year-old owner of Casa del Doggo.
