The Dog Lover’s Companion to Chicago has the inside scoop on the best parks, dog runs, beaches, forest preserves, and pet-friendly businesses in the Windy City and neighboring suburbs. Local author Magaret Litman and her savvy pooch, Natasha have dug up many surprising resources available to dogs in Chicago, such as doggy spas, art openings, church and synogague services and off-leash areas. Packed with 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 Chicago is truly a pet’s best friend.
This special breed of guidebook features extensive information on everything from the best hound-hospitable parks, beaches, and recreation areas to the dog-friendliest restaurants, hotels, and shops in select regions across the country.

5.0 out of 5 stars Four Paws Up!, November 7, 2003
By A Customer
Who knew there were so many fun things to do with your dog in Chicago? Margaret Littman takes us far beyond the asphalt jungle of Wiggly Field in this delightful and informative guide. Along with her intrepid dog, Natasha, Littman explores the best Chicago has to offer for pooches, including little-known havens such as cafes, bars and even restaurants.

Littman has obviously done her homework. Well organized by section of the city, the book weaves solid information with humor, and provides a Fodor's-type glimpse into the rich culture and history of Chicago's diverse neighborhoods. (For example, looking for authentic Mexican food? "Grab your leash and let your nose lead you," to Logan Square or Humboldt Park, Littman advises. After that, head to Humboldt Park for an on-leash tour of the park's Prairie School architecture-not to mention its multi-million facelift from the city.)

Thanks to this book, my dog and I visited a 60-acre, totally enclosed doggie nirvana in Lake County just 45 minutes from the city (I swear I heard my city dog exclaim, "Say, waaaaaaaahat," when we got there) and look forward to checking out other great locales in the city that are not only dog friendly - as we have learned, they roll out the red carpet for four-legged friends. This book is a must-have for any Chicago dog lover!

Enhanced with the charming illustrations of Phil Frank, The Dog Lover's Companion To Chicago: The Inside Scoop On Where To Take Your Dog by Margaret Littman is an indispensable guide especially recommended for true dog lovers who live in or near Chicago -- or who plan to vacation there with their beloved pet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Littman and Dogs: Even better the second time around!, March 19, 2007
This review is from: The Dog Lover's Companion to Chicago: The Inside Scoop on Where to Take Your Dog (Dog Lover's Companion Guides) (Paperback)
Margret Littman knows Chicago, knows dogs and most importantly knows how to share information in a fun, friendly, organized and entertaining way. Although I thoroughly enjoyed the first edition of her book, the 2nd edition proves to offer even more details, stories and ideas for the Chicago dog lover. As a dog trainer and owner of three dogs myself, I have found myself turning the pages of The Dog Lover's Companion to Chicago with great enthusiasm while making mental notes about new places to explore with my pack. Thanks to Ms. Littman for providing our great city with yet another invaluable book. Can't wait for the 3rd edition!
