An Excellent Guide May 4, 2006

This book is a terrific way to rediscover Philadelphia. I have lived in Philadelphia since 1992 and I learned a lot about my area from reading this book. My parents visited from Pittsburgh with their dogs, read some of the book, and loved its descriptions of our city and surrounding areas. Since I live in Center City I love to page through sections from time to time to discover ways I can get out of the city with some four-legged company. It was a concise but thorough read. I highly recommend this book to anyone, whether they are from Philadelphia or have a dog.

This book is not only fun to read, it's cram-packed with useful information for dogs and their people. The style is upbeat, down-to-earth and clever, so it keeps the reading light and easy. It's also easy just to pick up and flip through and start reading at any point, as it's organized well with lots of categories and ratings. I'm actually a bigger cat fan than a dog fan (in truth, I love all animals), but I bought three copies for some dog-loving friends who like to get out and about with their dogs. All of them were impressed, and never knew there were so many dog-friendly establishments and activities out there in their own backyard! There is even a Halloween costume party for dogs if you can believe it. The author really did her homework in compiling this comprehensive book! Too bad there is nothing like this available for cats...of course, a cat on a leash is a ticketable offense.
Incredible Book A Must Have November 11, 2005

I currently do not have a dog but got the book for my neighbor who is from California and has two dogs. Before giving it to her I read it and it was so informative (and witty) that it made me want to go and get a dog just so I could go to many places listed in the book! Who knew there were so many places to take your dog and dine with him/her as well! I LOVE the doggie paws rating. I think a big seller is all the year round festivals and parades listed also. It makes you want to get out and move with your dog!

This book is THE resource for any dog-owner living in or visiting Philadelphia and the surrounding tri-state area! Hotels, restaurants, parks, you name it - the author has researched them THOROUGHLY so YOU don't have to!! Very detailed and an amusing read to boot! Your pup will thank you!
Cleverly written book-- a must-have for dog lovers! October 21, 2005

This is a fabulous book for exploring in and around PA with (or even without) your pup! The "Diversions," "Dog-ear your calendar," and "Fetching Necessities" sections make hunting for interesting places that much easier. Ms. McLaughlin's clever and humorful writing makes for a delightful read, to boot!
