Ever been horrified when you see dogs taking a lick of their master's ice cream cone? Roles may be reversing soon, and it could be us humans asking Fido for a taste!

Everyone benefits from cooling refreshers in the hot summer season, and that includes our canine companions. Wanko No Ice has introduced a line of [iced desserts just for dogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bluey-ice-pops). Prepared by Funaka-based ice cream company, [Akagi Nyugyo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/akagi-nyugyo-co) is a pet-friendly recipe that is sugar-free and tasty, too. Fido will be drooling over the frozen-yogurt tasting treat -- and maybe if you're super nice, he'll even let you share a lick!
