China: Samoyeds Poke Heads Through Café Window, Charming Passersby

On January 25, 2026, in Guangzhou, Guangdong, the video captured a cat and dog cafe called Mao Rong Ye Ye where the owner had prepared two round openings in a window to welcome customers. The footage showed two Samoyeds taking turns to push their heads through the holes, their white fur filling the frame as they looked around with calm and curious expressions.

The dogs stayed still for a moment, then leaned forward again, as if posing, while the shop interior remained busy behind them. The video ended with the two dogs holding their positions as more pedestrians stopped to take photos.
