More About the Author

Trisha Blanchet is an award-winning humor columnist and the author of six books. She lives in Massachusetts with her husband, two children, and a dog... none of whom realize she is actually a deep-cover Soviet agent sent to live among them and gather intel on the seamy underworld of American suburbia. Well, the dog knows. But she also knows who buys the Alpo, so she's keeping her snout shut. For now.

Although some of the info in this book is not current, most of it is and that info is very helpful! If you travel with your dog(s) like I do frequently then this book can be a valuable tool when looking for a hotel/motel...to stay at with your four legged children :)

This review is from: Dog-Friendly Washington, D.C. and the Mid-Atlantic States: Includes Northern Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, Eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey (Paperback)

I'm sure this book was helpful when first published in 2005, but even two years ago when I bought it, much of the information was out-of-date. I was able to use some of the listings in the book as research starting points, going to the Internet to look up various stores and accommodations that were listed in the book. But the book itself is not a comprehensive info source. I had to rely on newer, more complete info found in other places, or, in many instances I discovered that the leads were outdated and no longer relevant.
