A Great Dane owner in the U.K. spent about half a million dollars to have a doghouse built on an exclusive estate near Cirencester in Gloucestershire. It will be built from materials such as zinc, glass and limestone and is designed by a top-class architect.

This expensive doghouse will consist of:

- sheepskin-lined, temperature-controlled beds
- an 18in-deep spa
- a $230,000 sound system
- 52-inch plasma TV
- sophisticated retina scanner installed at the front door to stop any other dogs getting in
- ‘Dog-vision’ webcams to allow their owner to monitor their activity 24 hours a day
- a climate control to ensure they are kept warm

The two dogs will each have a bedroom with large windows which overlook their own private playground.

There’s even a spa bath with a saline treatment built in because it’s good for their coats.

I can’t believe that with the current state of global economic crisis- massive layoffs, unemployment and companies declaring bankruptcy – some people can still manage to shed some serious amount of cash for unnecessary stuff. Just unbelievable.

But as they say – Every dog has its day.
