13 of the Craziest Luxury Doghouses
Do you have a doghouse for your canine? If so, what does it look like? Most of us pet owners get a standard dog house. It’s got a little bed inside. It’s comfortable enough for your dog to sleep in and he or she is happy there. But some people go much further than that for their dogs. Some folks build amenities that even a human being wouldn’t get. So we decided to put together this little gallery of the most outrageous luxury doghouses we could find. All images brought to us by This Old House, Coolist, and Interiors by Studiom. Enjoy the gallery!
