People in Washington usually have to work more than 8 hours each day, but dog owners there hate to leave their dogs alone every workday. So they take their dogs to a dog day care center. There the dogs play with other dogs and the workers. They also play with toys and they can rest in comfort.
Rebecca was a successful worker at a big company but she didn't find her job very satisfying. Her working hours kept getting longer and longer. She felt very about leaving her two dogs inside the house for a long time. She knew that many dog owners in Washington were like her .She felt they would be interested in a day—care centre for dogs. So in 1998, Rebecca left her company and opened Dog Ma near the United States Capital Building.
Usually, about 30 dogs are at Dog Ma every day. About 25% of them are younger than one year old. A day at Dog Ma costs a dog owner about 25 dollars
Dog Ma also has other services. Dogs can stay overnight(过夜) when their owners go out of town workers at Dog Ma will wash the dogs and cut their fur and nails. Dog Ma also provides dog training, it is really helpful to dog owners.
