Dog owners love spoiling their pups with treats and toys. But one dog owner has gone above and beyond—he created a whole playground for his dogs!
Aaron Franks lives in Pennsylvania with his four rescue dogs: Tessa, Bruno, Cooper, and Mia. Two years ago, Franks decided that he wanted to build a play area for his precious pups. Franks doesn’t have any prior building experience, but through sheer hard work and dedication, he was able to create an epic playground!
The playground is three stories tall, and it has a pirate-themed pool, running water, rope swings, and cushions for the dogs to lounge on.
Franks described the process of building the playground to The Dodo:
“It just came together as I went along. I just went for it. I worked on it a little bit at a time, sometimes just a few boards a month. Every time I got a couple of extra bucks, I’d go out there and add to it.”
Franks also described the playground’s layout to The Dodo:
“There are three levels. The top level is my deck. When they go down the ramp, there’s a second level on the inside of the house where they can lay down and look out the windows. On the inside, there’s a staircase that leads down to the bottom floor. That’s where they can come out by the pool. There’s a separate room there also.”
All four of Franks’ dogs love the playground. The two older dogs enjoy relaxing next to the pool. The two younger dogs love running around and swinging on the rope swings. And playtime doesn’t stop when it gets dark: at night, the structure lights up!
On Facebook, people shared how impressed they are with Franks’ creation.
Franks chose to make this playground simply because of how much he loves his dogs. He explained:
“I feed them, I water them and walk them every day. They get their exercise and stuff, but I guess at the end of the day I just felt like it wasn’t enough. I felt like this would be a good way to show my love for them. It makes me feel good that I could do that for them.”
Franks loves his dogs more than anything, and he would clearly do anything for them. Tessa, Bruno, Cooper, and Mia are four lucky pups!
