Hong Kong dog-friendly restaurant scheme oversubscribed

Hong Kong's new scheme to allow dogs in restaurants has seen an unexpectedly high demand, with over 2,100 applications received, more than double the 1,000-place quota for the initial phase.

If more than 1,000 applications are received, places will be allocated via a ballot. AI
