AHMEDABAD: In a bizarre incident, an American tourist checked into a hotel here with 14 pets, and called the police when the management asked her to leave. The incident took place on April 10 when the woman tourist from the United States called the police following an altercation with the hotel manager. The women arrived at the hotel with six cats, seven dogs and a goat on the night of April 9. "Upon reaching the hotel, situated in Shah-e-Alam area, we learnt that the hotel owner was upset after knowing that the US citizen had landed with 14 of her pets. When the hotel owner asked her to leave, she called us. Since no complaint was filed, we could not do much except pacifying both the parties," PTI quoted S S Modi, inspector of the Kagadapith police station, as saying. Hotel manager Ramesh Panchal said two persons came to the hotel and booked a room for a US citizen. We were not informed that she would come with so many animals, he said. "On the night of April 9, when only a watchman was present, she came with 14 of her pets, which were kept in the passage of the hotel," said Panchal. "The next day morning, we along with other guests were shocked to see so many animals in the hotel. When we asked her to leave, she got very angry and called the police. Then, we did not say anything to her," he said.
