KARUNA SHINSHO, CNN ANCHOR: Now we take you to a shop in Tokyo where some delicious-looking treats are offered for sale. But before you go shopping, there's something else you need to know. Denise Dillon explains.</s>DENISE DILLON, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Chocolate chip cookies. Watermelon slices. And pretzels wrapped with care. But wait -- before your mouth starts watering too much, there's something you should know. These treats are for dogs, and dogs only. The Three Dog Bakery is an American chain that has opened up shop in Japan. It's the only store in Tokyo that makes freshly baked cookies, pies, and cakes especially for dogs.</s>DAN DYE, CO-FOUNDER, THREE DOG BAKERY: We have a lot of Japanese customers in the United States, so we knew it would do great over here. Plus, Japan has the fastest-growing dog population in the entire world, even faster than the United States'.</s>DILLON: The treats are freshly baked and contain the finest wholesome ingredients. And they don't come cheap -- anywhere from $1.20 to $1.60 a piece. But that doesn't stop people in the United States from buying them, and the owners think dog lovers in Japan will buy them too, because no matter where you are from, people love to pamper their pets. Some think this is all a little extreme.</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE (through translator): The cakes are so pretty, and I think it's a very extravagant to do, to give my dog a whole piece. But I don't know if my dog would understand or know that difference from something less pretty.</s>DILLON: In addition to all the goodies, you can also get a new dish or two, and for a special occasion, a gift basket filled with doggie treats -- enough to make your dog sit up and beg.
