Product Description
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.

This book is really good. I found several places to take my dog for a day trip. I was surprised that this book did not cover Monterey/ Carmel or Santa Cruz areas. I was disappointed with that so I ended up buying the California book too.
So much better than City Dog December 26, 2006

This book rocks! I love it! It's thorough, informative, fun to read and overall just a wonderful guide. My only regret is that I bought City Dog first, a book that was just terrible. Live and learn!

I just moved to Walnut Creek, CA for work. This book is amazing! It is helping me find my way around the Bay area and letting my pups get some exercise in the dog parks along the way.

When I first moved to California from the midwest with my dog we were lost as to what to do with him. We used to have property and didn't have to worry about dog parks and could leave him at our parents house when we went on vacation. Well, time came for a family getaway here and we were beside ourselves thinking about kennels.
Just in time someone gave me a copy of the Dog Lovers Companion to California and also an older version of the Dog Lovers Companion to the Bay Area. I could not believe our luck! These books are chuck full of hotels, inns, parks, beaches, lots and lots of places, that we realized there's no reason to leave Frank behind! Since that fun vacation we have used the books to find loads of dog friendly places. It even has restaurant that allow dogs outside with you. We've stayed at beautiful inns and even taken horse and carriage rides with Frank thanks to the books.
Parks are ranked on a four paw scale and have an easy to see leash free symbol. The writing of both books is so fun that I would read it just for kicks sometimes. The author is funny and slightly irreverent but only in the best way, a way that helps readers really understand a place for better or worse.
The information is extremely accurate. I've read that this is a doggy bible, and it's funny because one day I was sitting at a cafe with Frank reading the book and laughing about an amusing story about the author's dog, and two different people saw the book and raved about it being their bible. I hope the author sees this because she really did make life in California great for our dog and us! Any Californian who cares about their dog should have this book.
An informative delight! February 12, 2005

I can't say enough about this book. It's a hoot to read, I laugh out loud sometimes. More than this is the excellent infomation provided. I was scared to take my dog to a restaurant but I ended up taking her with me on a lunch date to a cute Union Street San Francisco cafe because of the book. My dog loves it because she gets to go more places now. Five paws for the Dog Lovers COmapnion!
