“I want to be these dogs!” deadpans Andrew Black, partner of Alair Homes Forest Hill.  

The four pampered pooches Black is referring to reside in a manse in Markham’s Cachet Country Club Estate community. In addition to a marble-accented dog shower, the four-footers — three small breeds and a German Shepherd — can languish in their Nordic-style dog houses. Or, while the owners are enjoying some alone time — while searing a steak, say — they can salivate from behind a retractable glass baby gate that elegantly divides the kitchen from a hallway.
