Samsung’s $31k Dream Doghouse

How much do you love your dog?

Enough to cough up around $31,000 for the ultimate in hi-tech, hi-luxury canine accomodations?

If you're like me (and I know I am), your answers are:

a) Very much

b) Not even close

From Fortune:

If you’ve ever attended or watched one of the any international dog shows, you’ll surely see dozens of pets that are treated with the kind of opulence most humans will never get to experience. But only one lucky canine is the proud owner of Samsung’s Dream Doghouse, a $30,000 pooch pad that features an AstroTurf-covered treadmill, hydrotherapy pool, entertainment wall, and paw-controlled snack dispenser.

 

As the International Business Times reports, a team of 12 designers and builders collaborated on the project, which took six weeks to complete. On top of the treadmill and hot tub, the tiny home has a vinyl wall that can be covered with photos of the owner’s choosing, while the opposite wall features a Samsung Galaxy Tab S tablet, for whatever the dog feels like doing online.

 

Well, I was saving that money for the kids' college educations, but...

The company surveyed 1500 dog owners and found that a quarter of them wanted their pets to have their own treadmill, as well as a tablet or TV. Of the dog owners surveyed, 64% believed their pets would benefit from more technology and gadgets, and 18% said they’d like their furry companion to have its own hot tub.

 

I don't really see my dog, Lucy, making use of a TV or tablet. As far as a hot tub, I'm still scarred up from the last attempt to give her a bath in the shower. I'm thinking I wouldn't have survived trying to shove her into a jacuzzi.

Your house and your thoughts on this may be wildly different from mine, so take a look:
