Did you know Brazil is home to 31 million dogs, making it the country with the second largest canine population after the United States? It's no wonder then, that you'll soon be able to find a hotel dedicated to the more hardcore puppy love in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil.

Created by Fabiano Lourdes and his sister Daniela, "Animalle Mundo Pet" is set to open this week in Belo Horizonte. The eight-story building will have an entire floor for dogs to get it on, with dim lighting, red floor cushions and a heart-shaped mirror on the ceiling to set the mood. Not only that, the hotel will also feature a gym and venue for dog birthdays.

And unlike most love motels where you pay by the hour for a love-making space, dog owners can rent their pets a room for $50 per day.

"For many people, the dog is a child who must be well treated," 26-year-old Fabiano Lourdes explained to the Telegraph. "Our market studies showed that people work all day long and they do not know where to drop their pets for mating."

One million dollars was invested into the hotel, which has 60 employees, including veterinarians and biologists. Dog owners can also invest in luxury items like $1,000 Swarovski crystal dog collars.

Would you bring your dog to a love hotel?
