HEARTLESS HOTEL

By WILLIAM C. TROTT, United Press International

The rock band Heart is high on the charts with its album 'Bad Animals' and it was a 6-month-old puppy that got them in trouble at the Marriott Hotel in Charlotte, N.C. The band was unaware of a North Carolina law that bans pets -- such as Boppy, the Wheaton terrier that lead singer Ann Wilson has taken on tour -- from hotel rooms. A spokesman for the band said security personnel came around a few hours before the band was to check out Wednesday and rousted Ann's sister Nancy in search of the dog, threatening that if the dog didn't go, someone would go to jail.

To resolve the matter, the band's road manager sat outside with Boppy for three hours while the rest of the band was checking out. 'In all of our years of touring, it was the most absurd things that's happened to us,' Nancy said.
