Good morning on this doggedly cold Wednesday.

Perhaps you’ve seen them in front of cafes or grocery stores in Brooklyn: Pink-and-white doghouses that you can rent by the minute.

The high tech houses, created by the Brooklyn-based company Dog Parker and launched last year, are an alternative to leaving a dog at home or tying them up to a pole as one shops.

They cost 20 cents a minute, are temperature-controlled, cleaned daily and have webcams inside. (There are 45 Dog Parker houses across Brooklyn, with expansion plans for Chelsea and the Upper West Side next month.)

But are New Yorkers using them? And what do dog owners think of them?

We spent a recent afternoon outside Fabiane’s Cafe & Pastry Shop in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, to see for ourselves. When we didn’t see anyone park their pup inside the doghouse over the course of three hours, we asked passing dog owners why they weren’t biting.
