Dogs in China are becoming employees in pet cafes, earning money just like humans.

The concept, called "Zhengmaotiaoqian" in Chinese, translates to "earn snack money," and the idea is that these pets are working part-time or full-time at the cafes and returning home at night, just like humans.

Also, a pumpkin that has won an annual pumpkin-weighing contest in Northern California four years in a row has grown well-fed and healthy soil.

The 51st World Championship Pumpkin weigh-off in Half Moon Bay, south of San Francisco, was 1,121 Kilograms, weighing 11-14 people depending on their weight.
