Special Guests

sixteen-year-old Amy Martin is on holiday with her family in San Diego, California, in the United States.

They’re staying at the Coronado Bay Resort Hotel. After lunch, Amy and her parents are going swimming in the hotel pool.

The fourth member of their family, Martha, is going to take a surfing class. But here’s the unusual thing: Martha is a dog.

At the Coronado Bay Resort, dogs and cats are special guests. For example, Martha stays in the same room with Amy and her parents.

Martha also has her own bed there. At the hotel, cooks make special meals for dogs and cats.

And for fun, the animals can go surfing. There’s even a surfing competition for dogs staying at the hotel.

Today, there are many animal-friendly hotels around the world. For example, at hotels in Italy and Mexico, there are dining rooms for dogs and cats where they can eat special food.

And at the Devon hotel in the United Kingdom, there are special places where dogs can exercise. After that, they can relax in a private pool.

Staying at these pet-friendly hotels cost extra money. But most of the hotel guests are happy to pay a little extra to bring their pets with them. “Martha is a part of our family,” says Amy Martin. “When we travel, she comes with us.”
