WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (AP) – A travel guide’s list of the best places in the world to be entombed includes a cemetery for animals in a New York City suburb.

“Lonely Planet’s Best in Travel 2009” includes the Hartsdale Pet Cemetery with the Taj Mahal and the Great Pyramids among the 10 “best places of rest.”

The guide says the headstones at the pet cemetery are fascinating to read. One says, “Sport: Born a dog, died a gentleman.”

There are 70,000 creatures and several bereaved humans in the 112-year-old pet cemetery, which is 20 miles north of New York City.

A spokeswoman for the publisher says the book tries to include “a variety of travel experiences.”
