New Delhi, Aug. 10 -- Taking pet-friendly stays to a whole different level, a China hotel is now offering its guests "dog companions" on rent for Rs.6,120 ($70) a night, with a bite cover to boot.

According to a South China Morning Post (SCMP) report, Biguiyuan Phoenix Hotel in Wuhan launched a "pet sleep-accompanying" service in early July. Guests can rent a pet-themed room and choose a dog to accompany them for a day.

The guests who opt for this service are made to sign an agreement with the hotel. The hotel also legally assures its guests that it will bear full responsibility if the canines bite them.

Over 80 people have reportedly signed up for this service since July, and there have been no complaints so far.
