The doghouse isn't such a bad place

We know some owners like to spoil their pets, but one owner across the pond has really raised the roof with his doghouse.

The doghouse with all the trimmings has been named Pet Pad of the Year 2012 by UK insurance group MORE TH>N, and rightly so. Standing 6.5ft high, it was hand-crafted by the lucky dog's owner, complete with fully insulated walls and floors, carpet, glossed skirting boards, interior and exterior lights on a timer switch, a slate roof and fully functioning guttering.

To complete the pooch's perfect palace, there's a patio pathway, porch light, ceramic statues and hanging baskets around the exterior.
