It's a dog's life

Hiking, swimming, listening to music, watching television, eating gourmet meals, getting a pedicure, having your nails polished, freshly baked biscuits after your daily activities, massages - all are the perquisites afforded to dogs staying at dog resorts. One resort even has a staff member read a bedtime story over the loudspeaker every night before the dogs lie on their orthopedic mattresses and under their tapestry covers. These services cost the owner $100 and more a night.

Is this a little over the top? People are starving, and some wealthy people spend $100 a night on a dog. Give me a break!

Why can't the dogs stay in a top-notch kennel? Would the owners be less happy if they did?
