Author John Steinbeck's cross-country travels with his poodle Charley were the basis for his well-known travelogue Travels with Charley. When the book was published in 1962, it wasn't common to take a road trip with your pup. Now, more than 60 years later, it's not unusual for man and woman's best friend to accompany his or her owner on a day trip to sample a new brewery or on a longer vacation. 

Pet-friendly venues, from restaurants, hotels, inns, and campsites to dog parks and walking and hiking trails, are the norm. Pet-friendly stores stock all the latest doggie clothing, toys, treats and more, and when owners want a day to themselves doggie day-care centers welcome pups with a range of options from grooming to spacious play areas.  

Have a destination in mind for you and your pooch? Google the name of the town, add "pet-friendly," and lots of options will pop up.
