The dog and pony show is headed to New York’s John F Kennedy Airport.
When a new terminal called The Ark opens opens next year, 178,000 square feet of posh amenities will include everything from a resort with suites that have large flat-screen TVs, to climate-controlled stalls, showers, massages, a private space especially set aside for penguin mating, a paw-shaped dog swimming pool, a jungle for cats made of live trees that will give them a tantalizing view of the aquarium, and stables full of the finest hay a horse could hope for.
