This IKEA Store Is Opening Its Doors to Give Stray Dogs a Warm Place to Sleep

As Old Man Winter tightens his icy grip around the world, one IKEA store in Italy has decided to go above and beyond in considering the plight of our furry friends during this time.

The store, located in Catania, Italy, has been letting stray dogs relax and sleep in the warm comfort of the store, giving them a crucial chance to survive winter by avoiding frigid overnight temperatures.

An IKEA customer who happened upon a group of dogs snoozing near a living room display said, “My reaction was pure amazement. It’s not a common thing.”

The dogs are also fed at the store, and some have even been adopted by IKEA customers who just couldn’t resist those adorable puppy dog eyes.

Another customer said, “I felt a feeling of deep tenderness and great happiness in seeing dogs crouched in the exhibition space at the entrance of the IKEA. If all the stores that had the space would make a place of refuge for strays, I would be really happy.”

IKEA Asked Kids to ‘Bully’ a Plant for 30 Days and the Results Are Pretty Amazing

Bullying is a serious issue among young people, and IKEA representatives took it upon themselves to learn more about the phenomenon. In a very clever study, IKEA placed two plants in a school in the United Arab Emirates and instructed students to say mean words to one plant and shower the other plant with praise for 30 days.

Both plants received the same amount of water, sunlight, and fertilizer in order to ensure the results were accurate.

When the 30 days were up, the results were clear. The bullied plant was drooping and its leaves were turning brown, and the plant that received encouragement was healthy and thriving.

The experiment reinforced in the kids the fact that hurtful words can be very damaging to all living things.
