We have a Toy Poodle and a Ratt Terrier that love to go everywhere with us. The title: Best hikes with dogs:Arizona sounded like a must have book, and I haven't been displeased, the book appears to be pretty acurate on park admission fees, has good advice on hiking with dogs, and I find the "Hike Summary Table" not only very handy and useful, but an almost necessary piece of information, it tells you things like; easy on paws, 4 miles or less, unleashed okay, forested trail for much of the hike, good for senior dogs, best for well coordinated dogs,etc. The only negative for the book is that it doesn't have very many Dog Hikes in the West Valley where we are located. Maybe that'll be in the next book.
Entertaining and informative

This is a great read. I used to live in Arizona and often wish I could return. I knew Renee and Sparky, though I've never met Artemis. Hey Renee, it's David. If you ever read this, look me up. I'm living in Madison, Wisconsin these days.
