Last week we brought you the story of a man who had made his dog his very own room under the stairs.

That was pretty impressive.

But this doghouse might just top it.

For the last two years, Aaron Franks has been building a mini mansion for his four pit bulls: Tessa, Bruno, Coupe, and Mia.


It’s now, finally, complete. And it’s absolutely incredible.

The resulting mansion for all four dogs to lounge, play, eat, and snooze, has a mini pool, a garden with a fire hydrant, a water dispenser, and plenty of cushions for the dogs to relax upon.



‘My love for dogs is what inspired me,’ Aaron told metro.co.uk. ‘I feel like after all they have done for me I wanted to do something special for them.

Aaron built the mini mansion off the side of the deck of the family home. When the dogs go out on the deck, they can slip through the dog door to go straight into their own mansion.

The first ramp leads to the inside, where they can lie down or look out of circle windows.

After that there’s a staircase, which leads to the main floor, where the pool sits.

‘My dogs love it,’ Aaron says. ‘The older ones chill, the younger ones jump all over the place.

‘I’ve never built anything like it before. I just winged it – no plans, just a vision.

‘It wasn’t difficult, but it took over two years due to financial reasons. Every month I would go out and and do a little more, sometimes just a few boards at a time.’

That hard work payed off.

Just look at Tessa, Bruno, Coupe, and Mia’s new home

On the main floor, the dogs have their very own mini pool to splash around in

Plus plenty of lounge cushions if they prefer to sunbathe rather than swim

Dangling rope toys give the dogs something to chew and play with

They have their own little garden, too

The sleeping area’s inside, complete with windows the dogs can stick their heads out of

And there’s a rooftop where they can survey their land

The whole mansion’s been decorated with a dog theme, naturally

Basically, it’s incredible and we feel a bit rubbish about not having built any dogs their very own mansions yet

Every dog deserves their own mini pool.
