Loving Dog Owner Builds Mini Mansion for Spoiled Pooch
Do you think your dog is spoiled? Then you’ve obviously never met Namani, a pooch whose owner spent over ¥50,000 ($583) to build him his very own mini-mansion.
Located in Hamamatsu, Shizuoka Prefecture, Namani’s castle is a 2.5-meter tall doghouse built as a gift for Namani, and as a tribute to Matsumoto castle—one of Japan’s premier historic castles. It’s in fact a picture-perfect replica of ancient Matsumoto castle, which was built as a protective fort back in 1504.
Featured are three rooms. There’s a front parlor with a window for hanging out and spying on the neighbors, a sand-floor room for digging holes and cooling off in the summer, and a totally dark rear chamber for hiding during loud thunderstorms—and getting freaky with the neighbor’s dog.
It took Namani’s unnamed owner half a year to complete the little mansion, which he apparently built on his own. Check out the video below for a closer look at Namani and his castle.
