Fido Visits Manhattan
By Gloria Geannette
Manhattan with its skyscrapers and glamorous hot spots, might not strike travelers as a Fido-friendly city, but it really is if you know where to go. Accompanying my son, his wife and yellow lab Penny on their outings from their Upper East Side apartment for the last few years, I've learned firsthand where natives go with their dogs and where visitors will be equally...

Bowtie for Fido
The Porter Portland welcomes both you and your furry best friend.
By Susan Sims, Publisher
What can you say about a hotel that pampers pooches with their very own bow tie! Way over the top in Fido-friendliness and my kind of place!

A stately blonde Labradoodle patiently surveyed guests clinked wine glasses by the replace. Two perky, exquisitely groomed lap dogs seemed to realize they were in the lap of luxury. A sleek spaniel quaffed straight-up...

Lake Geneva
Think Wisconsin, not Switzerland.
By Susan Sims, Publisher
You had better bring Fido if you would like to fit in to this picturesque resort town of Lake Geneva. Just 80 miles outside of Chicago, it is a world away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and your dog is as welcome as you are.
The 26-mile shore path is a wonderful way to experience the slower pace with Fido as it winds it’s...
