All new Doggie Treat

Dog Ice Cream Targets Austrian Canines
VIENNA, Austria (AP) - It's fat-free, comes in three flavors, and it's for ... dogs.
Introducing "Dogissimo" - an ice cream created specifically for canines that have gone on sale at a local ice cream parlor.
Simona Leonardini, who concocted the doggie delight, said she hopes it will help man's best friend deal with the sizzling heat.
"I own three dogs myself and if it's hot, they desperately need to cool down," she said.
Leonardini, who declined to divulge the recipe, used her Golden Retrievers as testers to get the taste just right.
She also consulted with veterinarians and stressed that the dessert doesn't contain additives or artificial coloring.
The Viennese, like the Parisians, are generally dog-loving and often take their four-legged friends along when they run errands or go about their daily lives. It's not uncommon to spot dogs snoozing in cafes, waiting outside groceries or riding the city's trams and buses.
"Dogissimo" is just one in a series of dog fads that have surfaced in Austria in recent weeks. An open-air movie theater opened Thursday night that encourages dog owners to bring their pets.

Tourists order ice cream at the bar of the Ice cream parlor 'Iori' while standing next to a refrigerator containing ice cream for dogs, in downtown Vienna, Austria, on Thursday, July 19, 2007. Since a short while the 'Iori' salon offers 'Dogissimo' ice cream for dogs available in rice, vanilla-rice and soy flavors for prices between 4,90 euro (US$6.77), for a small portion, and 6,90 euro (US$9.53) for the big portion. With temperatures in the Austrian capital topping 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit) for almost a week, the treat has the potential to become a hit during the dog days of summer.
