how the other half lives

This is Marco, a Japanese basset hound, who lives in Kobe, Japan.  His owner, Toru Hirose, has built him his own private snack bar, restroom, and napping space.  Did you see that?  "built him".   

Marco lives in an 800 square foot apartment on the 15th floor of his building.  Toru wanted Marco to have his own space, hidden from view.  He also wanted an alternative to taking him for a walk.  The wait for the elevator might be too much for Marco!  Now, when Marco is thirsty he just trots over to his water bowl which is conveniently located in a private alcove 10" from the floor.  He can drink his water from a shiny, happy, silver bowl without his ears dragging on the floor.   If he's had to much to drink he just turns around and backs into his nook where he has a fresh wee wee pad waiting for him to piddle.  And if he's tired from all of that activity, he can trudge 3 feet in front of him to his cozy white crate and take a nappy.

Toru should have named him Riley.  This is the life. 
Shhhh.  Don't tell Zuzu.
