The Barkie indoor-outdoor dog bed is designed by ArniSays. The adorable and cleverly crafted pet accessory comes available in two finishes, a dark grey and white design that are shaped to resemble a dog's face.

This dog-inspired bed looks like a canine's profile view and sticks out its tongue to reveal a comfy cushion for your pet. The nearly indestructible furniture piece can be used indoors and outside and is a fun home accent that will have your furry friend lounging in style.

In addition to its fun design, Barkie is also super affordable and is available for just $99.00. In addition to this dog design ArniSays is also working on a cat bed concept that will have a similar look and price range.
