Burying Man's Best Friend

When you're a town of just 1200 people, kind of in the middle of nowhere and not on the route to anywhere, really, you have to dig deep to find a way to attract tourists. Or, you have to dig holes for dogs.

And, we're a bit sorry to say, not the same holes that dogs love to dig for themselves. At Corrigin's Dog Cemetery in south-west Australia, over 80 dogs who've given up the mortal life are buried. Each has its own headstone, many with touching messages about their loyalty and friendliness. A few Snoopys and more than enough Busters lie in the cemetery, and the care that still goes on around the gravesites makes it worth a visit for pure amazement value.

The good news? You can bury your own dog here if you want, and it doesn't even cost a cent.
