Last April 23rd 2019 at 9:07 p.m., a meteorite <a href="https://onlineonly.christies.com/s/deep-impact-martian-lunar-other-rare-meteorites/aguas-zarcas-doghouse-4/142783" alt="burned a hole in the roof of a doghouse" class="on">burned a hole in the roof of a doghouse</a> in Aguas Zarcas, Costa Rica. A few weeks ago, on Februrary 23rd 2022, the doghouse was finally sold at a Christie's auction in New York for $44,100.

The meteorite left a seven-inch hole on the roof of the doghouse. German Shepherd Roky, who had lived in this very doghouse, had been <a href="https://observer.com/2022/02/christies-meteorite-struck-doghouse-sold-auction/">extremely startled but unharmed</a>.According to Christie's head of science and natural history department James Hyslop, it is highly improbable for meteorites to strike large objects like homes and cars, let alone smaller ones like Roky's doghouse. This highly contributes to the doghouse's high selling price.

Doghouse Struck by Meteorite Sold at Auction for $44K

Would you consider buying a house from a dog? For this mansion in Miami, you'd better come prepared, as the asking price is nearly $32 million. Gunther VI, a German shepherd, inherited the home from his grandfather, Gunther III. Gunther III was the sole heir of German countess Karlotta Liebenstein, who died in 1992 and left her fortune to her beloved dog. His entire life, Gunther VI has enjoyed a dog's life, with meals custom-made by his private chef, private obedience lessons, and the companionship of the best dogs money can buy. At night, he sleeps in the bedroom once occupied by Madonna, who formerly owned the house.

The board overseeing the trust that manages Gunther's estate has decided to sell the eight-bedroom Miami mansion because the market is hot. Gunther VI doesn't mind; after all, he has another home in Tuscany.
