Place Where Dogs Are Kept (in Tokyo)

According to a survey which Tokyo Metropolitan Government Bureau of Social Welfare and Public Health conducted in 2011-2012, 85% of dogs are kept indoors in Tokyo.

I was surprised that so many dogs are kept indoors. 40 years ago, most of dogs were kept outdoors in Japan.

It is recommended to keep dogs on leash outdoors. But some owners walk their dogs without leashes.
