Every year an estimated 15 million people travel with their dogs. In recent years, mercifully, it has become much easier to do so with more and more lodging facilities becoming pet-friendly. But what happens when you actually want to leave the hotel room with your dog? Our national parks are notoriously unfriendly to dogs. Of the more than 1,500 public beaches in the United States more than half don't allow dogs at all and most of the rest have some sort of restrictions. But there are rewarding outdoor vacations to be had out there that can include your dog. This book is not about traveling with your dog to tiny, fenced in dog parks or disappearing into the wilderness; it is about places you want to see, and taking your dog to share your fun. The 100 Ideas feature more than 500 tail-friendly destinations. So, plan that next vacation to include your dog, grab that leash and get going!"Much to the chagrin of the kennel industry, an estimated 15 million people travel throughout the US with their dogs in the backseat. Just where dogs are welcome to get out and stretch their legs is the subject of another book from Doug Gelbert, Doggin' America: 100 Ideas for Great Outdoor Vacations to Take with Your Dog. Happily, nearly all of Gelbert's destinations are chosen with primarily with human-and not canine-interest in mind. His ideas include "5 Best National Parks for Dogs," "6 Can't Miss Canadian National Parks for Dogs," "10 Great State Parks for Dogs," "50 Great Ocean Beaches to take Your Dog," and other quirky themes such as "America's Castles," "Southern Plantations," "Formal Gardens," and "Farms and Ranches"-all dog friendly. Most unexpected is Gelbert's writing and research skill. He provides an immense amount of history, travel detail, and wit, contributing to thoroughly enjoyable read."-Matt Sutherland, ForeWord Reviews
