Dad Spends 2 Years Building Mind-Blowing Mansion For Dogs & We’re Officially Jealous.

Most pet parents are pretty devoted to their animals. They feed them, offer endless belly rubs, and treats, but what this couple did for their dogs might just make you feel like a bad dog mom or dad.

Aaron Franks and his wife have kids and three dogs. Like most pet parents, they consider their dogs a part of their happy family. For the past 10 years, the Franks have been working to make their house perfect. A recently finished two-year-long project “almost completes our home.”

There’s just one catch, the renovation has nothing to do with the humans in the family.

Aaron Franks loves his dogs.

But when it comes to his devotion to his pups, he takes it far beyond getting them all-natural dog food or the hottest new toy. “I feel like after all they have done for me I wanted to do something special for them,” he said.

So he completely transformed his backyard.

It took Aaron years to build this dog mini-mansion.

The dog dad says of the house, “It’s a 3 story play area,” custom-made for his pups.

Aaron says, “it has 3 entrances, it comes equipped with electricity, running water, 3 swings, in ground pool, 2 security cameras…”

There’s also an “indoor staircase with ramp, fire hydrant, pirate ship wheel, access to food and water.”

There are plenty of spots for the dogs to lounge in the sun or cool down in the shade (before hopping in the pool).

By all accounts, the dogs seem to really dig it.

Aaron says, “My dogs love it. The older ones chill, the younger ones jump all over the place.”

We’re not going to lie, this makes us pretty jealous of these dogs. What a sweet pad!
