Covering New England, New York, the Mid-Atantic States, Southeast and Florida, dogfriendly.com just unleashed its East Coast Dog Travel Guide, which features 6,000 dog friendly destinations and 200 must see places from Maine to Florida.

Giving dog owners a chance to hop in the car with the best friend, these sights include boat tours, living history museums, ghost tours, horse and carriage rides and other popular sights. It also explores hiking areas, such as Acadia or Shenandoah National Parks, as well as a drive through the Blue Ridge Parkway and dog-friendly city and state parks, and beaches. Hundreds of off-leash parks and areas are also included.

"This all new travel guide is designed for the dog lover who can now have access to thousands of places to visit with their dog," says Len Kain, who co-founded dogfriendly.com in 1998. "From resorts like Bar Harbor, Cape Cod, the Adirondacks, Cape May, Key West, Charleston or Jekyll Island to New York City, Boston, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Washington, Charlotte, Atlanta, Miami and Orlando, you can find thousands of places that you and your dog can enjoy together."

The authors, Tara and Len Kain, won the ForeWord Magazine Book of the Year award, and have traveled more than 150,000 miles through the US and Canada with their own dogs.
