I own seven of the eleven Dog Lover’s Companion guides published by Avalon Travel, and it’s only a matter of time and travel before I own the remaining four. To date, they cover the following regions: Boston, California, Chicago, Florida, Los Angeles, New England, NYC, the Pacific Northwest, Philadelphia, San Francisco and the Bay Area, and Washington D.C.

The books are marvelous — thorough, useful, and well-written. I especially appreciate the detailed reviews of local dog parks and parks that tolerate dogs. I wish, of course, that there were more books in the series, covering the areas we visit most often to see our families, but The Dog Lover’s Companion to Central Ohio (or Eastern Tennessee) is probably not at the top of their to-do list….
