Luxury Hotels Are Rolling Out the Red Carpet for Dogs
According to a report from the Miami Herald, high-end hotels across Miami are embracing pet-friendly travel like never before, with some properties offering amenities specifically designed for canine companions.

Dogs are no longer simply being tolerated. At some luxury properties, they're being treated like guests in their own right.
