“THE LUXURY HOTEL”

Near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, there is a small luxury hotel. The rooms at the hotel have thick carpets and air conditioning. Some rooms have TVs, and in every room there is music. The hotel has a pool and a hot tub, too.
The hotel is beautiful, but it is not expensive. A room with TV is only $13 a night.
Do you want to stay at this luxury hotel? Probably not. Sometimes the guests at the hotel are not very polite. They put their feet on the furniture. They jump on the beds. At dinner time, when the guests are hungry, they are very noisy. When they eat, they never use knives, forks, or napkins.
Who are these impolite guests? They are dogs. The luxury hotel is for dogs only. When people go away on business or on vacation, they leave their dogs at the hotel. They know their dogs will be happy there.
Dogs are busy at the dog hotel. They swim in the pool or relax in the hot tub. They go to exercise classes and swimming lessons. They get haircuts, shampoos and massages.
When dogs are tires, they lie in their beds or on the heated floor. Some dogs watch movies on a big TV. (The movies are about dogs, of course.)
Look at the dogs in the picture. Their families went on vacation, and they didn't go with them. But the dogs don't care. They are on vacation, too- on vacation at the dog hotel.
