Canine Mansions 2

Doggie Dream Homes

Believe it or not, this is a dog house that, in all likelihood, was patterned after the dog owner's own house design.

Doggie Dream Homes will build a smaller version of a real home for dogs that may include furniture, curtains, air conditioning, satellite TV, internet and even a phone line.

"It seems pretty bizarre that just as many Americans are losing their homes due to the sub prime mortgage crisis, others are building McMansions just for their dogs," Dvice says.

Well put!
