Story out of Ottawa, Ontario:
The Westin Ottawa is a four-star hotel. So perhaps it wouldn’t be all that surprising to see a fur coat in the lobby.
What is surprising is when that fur coat comes with four legs, a wagging tail, and a wet nose.
That is when The Westin has a dog in the lobby.
A few months ago, the dog-friendly hotel partnered with Ottawa Dog Rescue to turn the hotel’s lobby into a temporary foster home for rescue dogs. Hotel staff built a kennel - complete with a Parliament Hill dog house – right beside the escalators. “We have the facilities and the ability to do it,” says the hotel’s General Manager, Ross Meredith. “We house people so, maybe we can house dogs.”
And it's working. The hotel has already helped six hard-luck dogs find new homes. “The program so far has been fantastic,” says Andrea McCoy of Ottawa Dog Rescue. “I think it brings a lot of awareness to rescue and the rescue world in general.” Cont. (Video)
