Gone to the dogs

Buses, a dog's best friend - Image from Spiegel

What is the limit of luxury? For a dog it can be having its own bus. Dog lovers in Berlin can now happily go to work without being worried about who will care for their pet during the day. A newly launched bus service will shuttle dogs to a day care centre where they can eat, sleep and play. Each ticket is 15 euros ($22) and for this the dogs get to sit in cabins fitted with air-conditioning, central-heating, blankets and music. Their destination is Beelitz, a town 31 miles southwest of Berlin, where they they can play, eat or relax in special hotel rooms before embarking on their trip home. The bus can take up to 20 dogs and runs 5 days a week. Ah, now if only we had someone do that for us everyday.
