One-Eyed Rescue Pug Lives Posh Life at Chicago Hotel
By KATIE KINDELAN Jun 6, 2016, 1:38 PM ET
A Chicago pug went from being homeless to living in one of the city’s poshest hotels.
The pug, Parker, was adopted nearly one month ago by the Park Hyatt Chicago after spending over a month at a no-kill shelter in Chicago, Pets Are Worth Saving (PAWS).
Parker, who has one eye in addition to other disabilities, greets guests at the hotel's front door and even sleeps behind the hotel’s check-in desk. When the pug needs quiet time, she can slip through a doggy door the hotel built especially for her to enter a room behind the front desk.
"There's a major staircase that goes down to the meeting space and she knows that space and she’ll go off on her own and becomes the mascot down there," Park Hyatt's general manager, Walter Brindell, told ABC News. "We scheduled a dog walker to come in a few times a day (to walk her) but it has been so unnecessary. There’s so many people that want to take her out."
Brindell, a board member of PAWS, chose Parker after seeking a people-friendly dog to become part of the hotel's family.
