Hotel Monaco In Denver is Forcing Pet to Get All Political and Wear a Silly Costume

Where: 1717 Champa Street [map], Denver, CO, United States, 80202

The Democratic National Convention is headed to Denver next month and everyone in town is going to be overworked to accommodate the influx of visitors, including Hercules the resident pet of the Hotel Monaco.

The poor thing has to put on a silly red, white and blue tux with a tophat and pose in the lobby for guests and gawkers alike.

From Aug. 25 to 27 from 10 a.m. - 1 p.m., Hercules will be in the hotel lobby for photos with both two- and four-legged fans, as well as a petting or two, sporting his new "Super Delegate" tuxedo. He will also be in the lobby at various hours on Aug 26 to 28. Of course, breaks will be allowed for walks and treats.

Poor Hercules! Let's hope he gets a lot of treats. And good luck trying to keep that top hat on the dog. As a pet owner ourselves with a penchant for ridiculous costumes, hats are never easy. May we suggest keeping a spoon of peanut butter nearby?

As for actually staying at the hotel, rooms are booked out so you will just have to settle for seeing Hercules at the appointed time.
