A hotel in central China has attracted attention on social media by launching a “pet sleep-accompanying” service.

However, the service has come with a warning from a lawyer that the hotel will have to bear full responsibility if the canines bite anyone.
Biguiyuan Phoenix Hotel in Wuhan, Hubei province began offering the service at the beginning of July.
After paying 499 yuan (US$70) for a pet-themed room and signing an agreement with the hotel, customers can choose a dog which will accompany them for a day, Jiupai News reported.
So far, more than 80 people have signed up and so far, there have been no complaints.
A total of 10 dogs, from breeds deemed to have gentle characters such as West Highland White Terriers, Golden Retrievers and Huskies.

Some are raised by the hotel itself, and the rest are provided by professional pet training institutions. The dogs are reportedly paid 100 yuan a day (US$14), the hotel joked.
