This special episode starts off spooky season 2020! This episode is all about hotels where pets that have passed on aren’t letting a little thing like mortality stop them from cuddling into guests’ beds, prowling for mice, or barking in the night. Some dogs are so loyal, they never really live their homes. Some cats are so spoiled, they decide to spend their 10th life in the luxury and comfort they were accustomed to for eternity.
