    Stan Burun, a dog behaviour specialist, poses with dogs guests Cleo and Belle in a room in the Actuel Dogs Hotel in Vincennes near Paris Feb. 24. Heated pools, massage salons and a la carte menus are de rigueur at luxury hotels across the world, but in an exclusive establishment just outside Paris, the big difference is the guests: they have four legs, and enthusiastically wagging tails. Actuel Dogs bills itself as France's first luxury hotel for dogs, and founders Devi and Stan Burun also offer training programs for unruly hounds and dog walks in the woods.
