[Asia Economy Reporter La Young-cheol] In the era of 10 million pet owners, Gyeonggi-do is promoting a pilot project to install 'drinking fountains and waste bag dispensers for companion dogs on riverside walking trails.'

On the 22nd, the province announced, "We plan to install a total of 15 'drinking fountains exclusively for companion dogs' along riverside walking trails in the province by next year."

The province will either upgrade existing drinking fountains for use with companion dogs or install 12 new locations within this year, including Yongamcheon in Namyangju, and plans to add three more locations next year along rivers such as Cheongdamcheon in Yangju.

Additionally, one 'companion dog waste bag dispenser' will be installed at each of the 15 riverside locations with drinking fountains.

The province plans to invest a total of 100 million KRW for this project and will consider expanding the project based on residents' satisfaction with the pilot program.
