Heated pools, massage salons and a la carte menus are de rigueur at luxury hotels across the world, but in an exclusive establishment just outside Paris, the big difference is the guests: they have four legs, and enthusiastically wagging tails.

Two Yorkshire terriers Billy (R) and Jully (L), sit on the bed at a pet motel in Sao Paulo August 26, 2005. The doggy love motel, complete with a heart-shaped mirror on the ceiling and a headboard resembling a doggy bone, has opened for amorous pooches in Brazil. The doggy love motel in Sao Paulo, South America's largest city, was inspired by the thousands of such establishments that rent rooms to Brazilian couples for four-hour periods for trysts. The air-conditioned pet love motel room, with a paw print decorative motif, has a special control panel to dim the lights, turn on romantic music or play films. The dog motel, which opened this month, costs 100 reais ($41) for two hours. Picture taken August 26, 2005.
