A woman sits with her German Shepherd at the "Barking Lot" cafe in Saudi Arabia's eastern Gulf city of Khobar, 450 kilometres east of the capital, on September 25, 2020. - Dog owners in Saudi Arabia can now enjoy a cup of coffee outside their home alongside their beloved pets in a new cafe -- a first for the ultra-conservative kingdom. The Barking Lot, which opened its doors in June in the coastal city of Khobar, has brought them much relief amid restrictions on animals in public places. Dogs are generally prohibited from walking in public and, unlike cats, are considered unclean in Islam, which originated in Saudi Arabia. (Photo by FAYEZ NURELDINE / AFP)
