Most Expensive Kennel

We all know that some dog owners are a bit too attached to attached to their canine companions—bringing them to family gatherings, restaurants or even that unexpected visit to your place. So what happens when a person like that also happens to be a surgeon who can afford to drop nearly $400,000 on a whim? You get something that may just be the world’s most expensive kennel.

Designed by architect Andy Ramus, the lavish doghouse will be attached to the owners’ exclusive Gloucestershire estate. At about a quarter of the home’s size, the kennel will be spacious enough to accommodate more than just the pair of Great Danes who are destined to live there. Unfortunately for them, a retinal scan will prevent them from having friends over. It’s sad to think that the dogs will only have each other as company when they sleep on their sheepskin-lined, temperature controlled beds, relax in their 18-inch spa, listen to their $230,000 sound system, retrieve food and cold, filtered water from self-cleaning bowls filled by automatics dispensers or vegetate in front of their 52-inch plasma television.

It’s true what they say—it’s lonely at the top.

So how much is this puppy palace going to cost its owners? The luxury kennel is being built for £250,000—that’s over $384,000!
