Dog jaunt: Sunset Magazine dog-friendly vacation suggestions
I just got my copy of the August 2009 Sunset Magazine, and was delighted to see that it includes a great article listing “Our 10 favorite dog-friendly spots for canine quality time.” Some I already knew about — we live near Orcas Island, and used to live near Carmel, CA — but even in those two locations, Sunset found a couple of beaches and a resort that we need to try. The other locations are Denver, Coronado, Los Angeles, Tucson, Santa Barbara, Petaluma and Walla Walla. Grab yourself a copy and check out pages 32-34!

I am not sure how Elisa Bosley could think Denver is such a dog friendly place???? They have a law that states if a dog even remotely resembles a pitt bull they will be confisated and euthanized.
One family had their dog held for 8 mos till DNA test came back showing it was a boxer mix. I will cross Denver off my possible vacation spots to visit ( and I have family there I could stay for free!! I am also going to cross Sunset Magazine off my list as a source of investigated information.
Apparently Miami and Cincinnati also have stringent pit bull bans. I’m focused on small dogs, but even I know that feelings are strong on both sides of the discussion. Perhaps PETA’s suggested approach would be a good compromise: http://www.peta.org/about/hottopic007.asp
