2007 looks to be a very good year for stateside pooches.
According to BringFido.com - a popular dog travel website that provides online reservations at more than 15,000 pet friendly hotels - there are more than 200 dog friendly parades, festivals, fundraisers, and even beauty pageants to look forward to this year. "Attending events is a real treat for dogs, but it's often even more fun for the owners," says Melissa Kendall, BringFido.com's founder and president, noting that 70% of the dog events featured on their site benefit charities such as Animal Friends, Helen Woodward Animal Center, Greythound Guardians, North Shore Animal League and other local humane societies. "Attending events is also a great way for dog owners to help homeless pets in their community."
