Six years ago, Kaya Kristina of Toronto, Canada, noticed that a lot of the dogs leaving the dog park next to her house looked hot, tired, and thirsty. As a pet parent herself, Kaya took it upon herself to put out a bowl of water with a note that read, “For thirsty dogs.” Soon, her neighbors discovered the bowl and started stopping by to say hi. One person even sent her a cute thank-you note!

“One day, I got a card from someone in my mailbox,” Kaya said. “It had a picture of their dog on the front and it was written from the point of view of the dog saying thank you for the water. I put the picture up on my fridge and it made me really happy.”

So when boredom set in during the COVID-19 lockdowns in her city, Kaya took her kindness up a notch. She designated her own dog, Molly Meatlog, as the manager of High Park’s newest and hottest doggy cafe, which she called StarPups Coffee. Kaya bagged up individual treat bags and wrote out a little menu. She provided regular Milk-Bones along with some all-natural snacks made in Canada.

When the dogs and their parents saw what she’d done, they started coming around every day. That’s when Kaya realized how lonely other people must have been feeling, particularly those who only have their pets for company. Luckily, the dog cafe became a perfect way to interact with others in a safe, socially distanced way!

“It was so cute seeing the dogs go by and pulling their owners to my house to go get a snack,” Kaya said. The dog mom started an Instagram for all “The Pups of High Park” and encouraged her neighbors to share pictures of their dogs enjoying the cafe. The project became a welcome diversion during a difficult time, and Kaya looked forward to seeing new dogs pass by every day.
