The dog-friendly mall in California's Orange County is a paradise for pooches of all kinds, as owners are allowed to browse freely with their pets through up-scale shops, the Los Angeles Times reported Sunday. Advertisement "Dogs have become the new kids. You tend to spoil them," said Kathy Jones, manager of Muttropolis, a fancy pet store on Fashion Island. Some dog lovers say all malls should be as welcoming as Fashion Island when it comes to allowing canines indoors. "Everybody loves dogs" said Fashion Island shopper Joey Magazzu. "They need more places like this where you can bring your dog."
