VietNamNet Bridge – The current cold has killed thousands of cattle in northern Vietnam. In Hanoi, people seek ways to protect their pets. Some pay VND500,000 ($25)/day for their pets to stay at Vietnam’s only hotel for dogs and cats, owned by Mr. Bao Sinh.

Man cares for city’s pets, dead or living

The “King of Dogs and Cats”

A dog in woolen coat going with its owner in Hanoi’s Thong Nhat park.

The owner of a noodle restaurant in Nguyen Khac Can Street puts her dog near the fire for the time.

This cat lies in a glass box to avoid the cold and see the street.

Some people send their pets to Mr. Bao Sinh’s hotel for dogs and cats on Truong Dinh Street.

This hotel is similar to a hotel for humans. It has air conditioners, toilets, beds and toys for pets.

Pets are taken care very carefully and entertained by hotel employees.

There is a fashion shop for pets in the hotel.
