When the Democrats come to Denver next week for their national convention, it will be dog days  --  at least in some places.

Particularly at the Hotel Monaco, where the “director of pet relations” will be on hand to greet attendees.

“Hercules” will be decked out in a specially-made red, white and blue tuxedo and top hat, which he will be debuting on August 25 in the Hotel’s lobby.

He will be there 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 August 26 �" 28. Of course, breaks will be allowed for walks and treats,” said the hotel.

As the Hotel Monaco’s director of pet relations, Hercules will have an official role at the hotel during the Democratic National Convention.

The public is also invited.

A sophisticated hotel in downtown Denver, the AAA Four-Diamond rated Hotel Monaco invites guests to indulge their senses while having some “Mile High Fun.”  The Hotel Monaco, a pet-friendly Kimpton Hotel, is within walking distance of all the major venues in downtown Denver.
