dc.description.abstractBroadcast Transcript: As Japan's people population gets grayer so does its pet population and this has opened up a whole new market niche centering around dogs in their dotage. In Tokyo, there's a nursing home for the four-legged geriatric set that features round-the-clock veterinary care, aromatherapy, and a staff of playful puppies to help the residents "feel younger." Or, at a cost of as much as $500 a month, some dogs can even enjoy their golden years at a spa with a regimen of water therapy, massage, and acupuncture to ease their aching joints. And though life must, inevitably, end, the pampering doesn't have to. Funerals, memorials and grief counseling are available to pet owners and there's even a cemetery that offers the ultimate in afterlife companionship: a shared grave. Bow wow! #ceas #hacker #japan
