5.0 out of 5 stars Another fantastic title in the series!, February 20, 2002
By A Customer
There should be one of these books for every state/region in the country! This book expands upon the Boston book Downey and Lau wrote (which is also essential, I think, if you live around Boston - because it has more of those area listings.) Anyway, this book covers all New England states. Each walking place is given a rating of 1-4 paws (stars), and a symbol is shown if you can walk your dog offleash, if you can control him/her. My dog and I have gone to terrific places all over MA and New Hampshire (we're going to go further this spring). I would not have known about these awesome spots if not for this resource. The only hard part will be deciding where to go!
I recommend this book to every dog owner I know, enthusiastically, and without any reservations!

1.0 out of 5 stars Some real problems with this vlume, January 19, 2007
Reading these positive reviews I almost hesitated to post a rather negative review; however, I feel it important to point out some problems with this particular volume.

My work keeps me on the road for much of the year and my dog often accompanies me on these trips. Locating dog friendly properties is sometimes a challenge so I was pleased when a friend gave me this book as a gift. Unfortunately, I found the book rife with errors, misinformation and glaring omissions. As the authors correctly point out, it is vital to verify the rules for an individual property prior to leaving home in order to avoid disappointment and inconvenience. Properties change hands; situations alter and rules change without warning. While reading through the book I kept returning to verify the publication date since so many entries were very out of date. This particular issue was published in 2004. In a number of places throughout the book recommendations for lodging and food include properties that closed as much as seven or eight years prior to the publication date. In New England there are several Inns that cater to dog owners offering special programs and amenities for dog owners and their pets. The properties that I am aware of have all been in operation for at least eight to ten years. Yet no mention is made of them. Odd.

I think the bottom line of this book and on any similar books is that the dog owner who chooses to travel with his/her pet, must do their own research prior to hitting the road and must verify all information listed on any web site or in any book. Perhaps it is simply impossible to write a book such as this and hope that any of the information will remain current upon publication.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST for any dog owner in New England!, January 7, 2003
By C. Vibert "cvibs" (Torrington, CT United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As a resident of Connecticut, I found it a daunting task to find places where my dog was accepted. This book took all the guess work out of who allows them and makes life a LOT easier! I was also surprised to find a few eateries in my own town which allow patio eating with my furry friend, which is a welcome surprise. Definitely, any dog owner who lives in New England or is planning on a visit here needs this book. It is much more extensive than most other dog travel guides, including a ranking system and descriptions of all places included, as well as some cute anecdotes of the authors' own experiences with their pooches at these places.
