Let me preface by saying I'm Korean-American. But I can even see this is a bad joke in the making, and deservedly so. I swear that device looks very similar to a food dehydrator once available for 3 easy payments on late night TV.

Personally, I think most little dogs are pampered enough as it is (friends, they're dogs, not little people), but this Pet Pavilion showcased in NYC seems to be the bastard child of a Ronco infommercial product and Michael Jackson's sleeping pods, spoiling your tailed companion with computer control temperature, humidity, a built-in infrared radiation and carbon heating element, an air filtering unit that removes dust and germs, and a solenoid valve for "medical treatment." Somewhere Mr. Barnum just chuckled.
