Do not fall into the trap in seeing "one" and you are done with the entire city. I see more people than I can count walking their dogs EVERYDAY, letting their cats out EVERYDAY and we are talking MULTIPLE pet owners. This list, I believe is a bit skewed. Our spot of 30 for "best" may be legit, but as far as the concentration, there are pets EVERYWHERE with prominent pet businesses to boot. Lynn,

If the governor of a state is of that frame of mind, I will not visit that state. They won't be getting my tourist dollars!

Sure there are pockets of "nice" but overall I find the south to be backward. Christina, I live in South Carolina and am very intolerant of the ignorance I see all around me.

Sure it's the home of Michael Vick but please don't stereotype an entire portion of the country, it makes you look intolerant. Lynne,

It's more like "friendly to MOST dogs". I agree with Shaun, no city that has BSL can truly be called “dog friendly”. It’s more like “friendly to MOST dogs”.

Just about every car has a dog in the back seat. I love it! We have several good dog parks. The city seems to bend over backwards for dogs. We are getting water put in at the dog park we go too. I need to find out when the dog ball is. Daisy and I want to attend. I live in Albuquerque. Just about every car has a dog in the back seat. I love it! We have several good dog parks.

Several restaurants have outdoor seating where you can share your table area with your dog. There are dog parks, not 40 acres though.... and our parks are not grass, they are sand and dust.. Back East in Connecticut and the New York area, it was great for dogs. State land, wildlife management areas, water for swimming and parks with grass. Restaurants, hotels, etc. were not dog friendly. There were a number of dog camp vacations available - and those were great fun. Interesting to see Co. Springs and Denver listed. I have heard people from there complaining about lack of places to take their dogs for exercise..... Katie Tucson, my present home is very dog friendly.
