NEW YORK -- New Yorkers walking their dogs now have an easy way to give their pooch a treat.
Quarter vending machines are dispensing
dog biscuits.
There are about 20 machines in Manhattan.
The founders of a company called Street Treats came up with the idea -- and they tell the Daily News they have plans for another 50 machines this year.
The quarter vending machines are placed in stores, and the owner shares in the profits.
