A cafe on a Greek island is opening its doors each evening to let stray dogs from the local town shelter from the cold.

A picture of Hott Spott cafe on Lesbos, which was taken earlier this month, has been shared hundreds of thousands of times (https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10206929654772419&set=a.2022740400699.2119780.1009628893&type=3&theater), with many people warmed by the kind gesture.
The cafe in Mytilene, the island's main port and capital city, closes to customers at 3 each morning, and in turn opens its doors to dogs to sleep in the warmth.

Sounds nice but, er, could be a bit controversial?

tStray dogs in a cafĂ©?  Not only would it stink but it would undoubtedly be verminous.
