Made the trip to the pet cafe (비즈애견샵) in downtown Gwangju last weekend. You go, buy a 5,000 won drink, and can play with the dogs and cats that mosey around. Most of them are clothed and wearing make-up---there's a dog beauty studio in the cafe---so that's a little ehhh, but for somebody who misses his puppy back home it was a great way to spend the afternoon. Here are better pictures of the cafe and its inhabitants from Living Life Frame by Frame.
It's down the street from the post office and Burger King in Chungjang-no, on a corner across from a Mini Stop; consult this map if you don't know where I'm talking about. You will come out smelling bad, so don't plan a night out before taking a shower and hitting your coat with the Febreeze.

I was there too last weekend, Saturday between 3-5pm i guess. Very nice and cozy place.
I'm glad you mentioned the smell thing. I swear that they should find some way to open the windows. It smells like a combination of old-pet smell and cleaner-smell. I like the place, but I definitely left there smelling a little funky.
ech! sounds nice. maybe i'd take my kids there to play... i mean, they like animals.
Or maybe their father will.. because i HATE animals. =P
Pet cafes have been around in Japan for years. They often post outside a menu-type brochure with the names, photos, and personalities of the pets inside.
