Join award-winning author Maria Goodavage and her canine companion Joe on a tail-waggin' romp through all nine San Francisco Bay Area counties. This fourth edition features updated and expanded listings on all the best spots for "ruffing" it with your dog in the Bay Area, including a doggy day camp in the Wine Country, beaches and leash-free parks in San Francisco and Marin County, and dog-friendly restaurants in Berkeley. You'll also find helpful hints on doggy do's and don'ts, useful canine first-aid instructions, easy-to-use maps, and witty illustrations by celebrated San Francisco Chronicle cartoonist Phil Frank. "Indispensable…and vastly entertaining as well." -- Sierra Club

Summary: Bay Area
Comment: 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.

Summary: So much better than City Dog
Comment: 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!

Summary: A lifesaver
Comment: 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.

Summary: Our bible too!
Comment: 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.

Summary: An informative delight!
Comment: 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!
