The owner of the dog creates a tiny room for him
Meet Hennessy, a cute little puppy whose father recently constructed a comfortable new home for him to call his own.
The owners of Hennessy, David Maceo and his wife, just purchased their first house. They had previously spent a brief period of time living at David’s mother’s house, where the three of them shared a bedroom. David thought about how he could make it up to his playful dog because he felt the arrangement was a little too limiting.
David said to The Dodo, “I kind of felt guilty that we didn’t have a lot of space. So I made the decision to give Hennessy his own room when we relocated.
David eventually located the ideal location for his dog, albeit at first it wasn’t immediately apparent.
David suspected that the stairway in the family’s new home had a hollow large enough to be converted into the ideal pup-sized home.
David explained that he had inserted a small camera to check whether there was room for him. As expected, there was:
I finally broke a little hole in the wall, and things progressed from there.
With that, Hennessy was the only one benefiting from the renovations that soon followed the house. To make it appear as though the dog’s room had always been there, David cleaned up the area under the stairs over the course of the following month and painted it to match the rest of the house.
Since Sunday was the only day I had off, I worked on it every week, he claimed.
Construction went without a hitch.
Once the intricate construction work was finished, David made sure Hennessy’s new room was as comfortable as possible. A few family pictures that he believed his dog would like seeing were hung up.
David remarked, “There are pictures of him and his brother; he passed away a year ago. He and I are both depicted in pictures on the opposite side, along with my wife and I. Another image of my mother and father is present.
David admitted that he had some concerns that Hennessy might not even enjoy the room after it was finished.
But such concerns were quickly allayed.
David prepared the grand unveiling for his dog and then placed Hennessy’s bed inside.
I snatched a snack and placed it inside for him. He entered, ate it, and then went to sleep,” David recalled. He remained still for almost 25 minutes after that.
Hennessy gave the nod.
Since then, the tiny dog has developed a habit of spending the majority of his downtime in his personal space.
David answered, “He likes it. “He feels safe beneath the stairs. It gives him a lot of comfort. It’s the ideal location for him.
For David, it was well worth the time and effort to design a dedicated area just for Hennessy. After all, the little puppy is nothing less than family to him.
David declared, “He’s the best dog.” “To me, he’s like a son.”
