A St. Bernard called Wellington from Derbyshire has been making the houndlines recently thanks to his fancy canine crib. A three and half day build, Wellington’s doghouse is a third scale replica of his owner’s three-bedroom detached family home complete with insulated walls and floors, rippled Cotswold windows so Wellington maintains his privacy, lighting, glossed skirting boards, carpets, slate roof and even a landscaped driveway complete with hanging baskets to impress any visiting anipals.
So impressive is Wellington’s doghouse, it’s been awarded the UK’s Pet Pad of the Year 2012 in a two-month search commissioned by MORE TH>N Pet Insurance and judged by famous pet lover Dawn Porter and TV vet Marc Abrahams.
