Doggie concierge explains 5-star treatment for dogs

The World

You may never feel like you get your money’s worth at a hotel again. New York’s Hotel Pennsylvania in midtown Manhattan serves as the lodging for the dogs who participate in the Westminster Dog Show. From the moment the four-legged animals enter the lobby, they are greeted with goodies … and we don’t mean doggie treats.

We talk with Jerry Grymek, the “doggie concierge” at the hotel. He explains how the dogs are pampered at the hotel before show time.
