If you are a dog lover who carefully plans your vacation destinations around whether or not your pup can come and have fun with you, these cities are your best options.
In today's society, for many of us our pets are part of our family, and in no way would we leave them out of a family trip. Going camping? Take your dog to Phoenix, Arizona; they have about 6 dog-friendly campgrounds. Snowshoeing? Take them to Sun Valley, Idaho. Hiking? Take your dog just about anywhere on this list.
