Summary

The Dog Lover's Companion to the Bay Area has the inside scoop on the best parks, dog runs, beaches, forest preserves, restaurants, pet-friendly businesses, and much more. Local author Maria Goodavage and her trusty companion Jake have dug up many surprising resources available to dogs in the Bay Area, such as baseball games, cable-car adventures, ferry trips, and wineries. For the less outdoorsy dog, there are bookstores, cafes, and even drive-ins! Packed with illustrations by celebrated cartoonist Phil Frank, as well as 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 the Bay Area is truly a pet's best friend.
