I wish there was a guide like this for other cities

If you have a dog and live in Chicago, this book is a must. Just flipping through this book, you can quickly learn how dog friendly the Chicago are is. Having recently moved to Madison, WI, I didn't realize what I had until it was gone (most parks prohibit dogs, and the designated "dog parks" are usually over run with extremely aggressive, untrained dogs that are a serious danger to you and your pet).As one reviewer notes, you should phone ahead on some of the places in the book. The Renaissance Hotel downtown will allow small dogs (generally less than 15lbs), and even has a section on the room service menu for your furry friend.

Finally, a reason to visit my mom!

I love and dearly miss Chicago, but was not a dog owner when I grew up in the city. I long to visit for reasons other than business, but cannot justify taking a vacation to a town where my dog might not have fun. This book gives me something to do and look forward to with my devoted companion Ben. I've seen all the museums, the shopping and the water, now I want to experience Chicago from Ben's point of view. I know he'll love the people and the street food! And my mom will love that I finally found a compelling reason to visit!

A MUST for all Chicagoland dog owners

I don't believe there has ever been a book that will create so much fun for dogs and their owners. I give this book (in the author's terms) a rousing 4 bones!
