Bakery Appeals To Paunchy Pooches

Associated Press

Pawlines, anyone? Perhaps a ciao-wow pizza?

For pet owners who want the top treatment for their precious pooches, Three Dog Bakery is the place. The shop in the French Quarter gladly handles dog parties, weddings or even just a yappy hour.

“Business is good. We’ve had a tremendous response,” said Anne Rogers, 32, who opened the bakery in March with her mother, Jane Rogers, 54. Trays of doggie delicacies with names like mutt muffins are shelved in wicker baskets trimmed with ribbons and dried flowers, all out of dog’s reach.

The goodies are made from a wheat flour dough baked with garlic, peanut butter or honey cinnamon.

If it sounds good, there’s a reason: The bakery employs a full-time pastry chef. Lapping it up are Anne’s golden retriever, Gratzi, the maitre d’og, and Jane’s West Highland white terrier, Lacie, the executive treat taster.
