“Rin-chan”, an 8-year-old female dog who is paralyzed in her hind legs has an auxiliary wheel attached to her body to aid her walking training at the nursing facility Pet Care Service Let's in Tokyo on March 25, 2015. A Japanese law amendment in 2013 resulted in the responsibility and obligations of owners and pet suppliers being enhanced which means owners now have a responsibility to continue to care for their pets until they pass away. Pet funerals are common in Japan, a nation of dog lovers, where animals are often cremated and the ashes kept in the living room along with a picture of the deceased.
