The U.K.’s Telegraph reports that a brother and sister duo are investing $1 million in what they say is a project inspired by the thousands of Brazilian love motels that allow couples to rent rooms by the hour.

For a mere $50 a day, dog owners can secure space for their pooch complete with a heart-shaped mirror on the ceiling. The founders hope that similar hotels will sprout up across Brazil, saying “people work all day long and do not know where to drop their pets for mating.”
