BERLIN — Six weeks ago, Silke Wommelsdorf ditched an unhappy 30-year career in corporate sales to open a dog salon. Now the 51-year-old can't wait to meet her four-legged clients in the morning.

"Dogs have been my passion since I was a kid," she said. "I thought to myself, it's now or never. I wanted to live my dream."
