I Want To Be Rachel Hunter’s Hound

growingyourbaby — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 22:22:00 +0000

Rachel Hunter has one classy Hound!!

The supermodel commissioned La Petite Maison, which makes homes for pampered pooches for up to $50,000 to build it with terra cotta floors and wrought iron balconies.

The elaborate doghouses are created by builder Alan Mowrer and interior designer Michelle Pollak, who conceived the idea after several years making children’s playhouses.

Mrs Pollak said: “I mentioned half jokingly to our builder that we should build a luxury doghouse, and it went from there. I think people go to these lengths for their pets because they are considered part of the family now.

“Many of our clients have pets but don’t have children, so they’re doted upon and treated just as well as kids would be.

“Almost anything is available by way of accessories – air conditioning, custom beds, running water and interior design.”
