This luxury doghouse was created in 2007 for a sales event at a department store in Tokyo and designed in collaboration with a maker of high-end pet goods. It's worth3.9 million yen (32,000 dollars).
The most expensive doghouse in the world, large enough for a Chihuahua or terrier, is decorated with 7,600 crystal beads and has a pillow in the shape of Hello Kitty's face.
"There's been a boom in luxury couches for larger dogs, so we thought there might be room for something new," said a Sanrio (the company behind Hello Kitty) spokesman.
Products created in previous years for the week-long sales event aimed at adult Kitty fans include a Kitty-themed "i" minicar from Mitsubishi Motors Co. and a Hello Kitty Fender Stratocaster electric guitar, which sold last year for $20,460, he said.
