Dog house is a good place to be

While we may have clawed back on our interiors purchases post-boom, pampered pooches will be able to rest easy on designer bedding this Christmas.

The new Dog House section of Brown Thomas in Dublin – in The Marvel Room on the first floor – will sell dog beds, bowls and stitch blankets, some from leading names such as Paul Smith.

No scratching around worrying about the next meal for these meat-eaters.
