The Dog Lover's Companion Guide to Boston has the inside scoop on the best parks, dog runs, beaches, restaurants and pet-friendly businesses throughout Bean Town. Local authors, JoAnna Downey and Christian J. Lau, along with their trusty companions George and Inu, have dug up many suprising resources available to dogs in Boston, such as the Boston Common Dog Wash, holiday-time photos, pup-friendly movie and music nights, and off-leash areas. Packed with helpful maps, up-to-date leash laws, and a useful "paw" ranking system for all locations in the book, The Dog Lover’s Companion to Boston is truly a pet’s best friend.

This special breed of guidebook features extensive information on everything from the best hound-hospitable parks, beaches, and recreation areas to the dog-friendliest restaurants, hotels, and shops in select regions across the country. Each guide features the illustrations of celebrated San Francisco Chronicle cartoonist Phil Frank.
