It's a dog's life

JFK Airport is building what it calls "the ARK". Perhaps the name was chosen with reference to Noah's Ark for it is a 178,000-square-foot terminal exclusively for animals; the initial estimate of cost is $48,000,000.

The most common customers are expected to be dogs. They will have a 20,000-square-foot luxury "resort" run by the company Paradise 4 Paws with flat-screen TVs, a bone-shaped swimming pool, massage therapy, and "pawdicures." 

Cats will get their own trees to climb; horses, cows, and other animals will have their own specially customized areas with private stalls and showers.  There will be a holding pen for goats, pigs, and sheep, as well as a space dedicated to giving penguins "mating privacy". There are even webcams in the suites where owners can maintain some contact with their pets.
