New York ranked among America's top 10 pet-friendly cities - especially for dogs

New York ranked among America's top 10 pet-friendly cities - especially for dogs

This town has gone to the dogs - in a good way!
New York was ranked as one of America's top 10 pet-friendly cities of 2009 by msnbc.com in an annual assessment that identifies cities with the cushiest amenities, friendliest spaces and coolest perks for our four-legged pals, with an emphasis on canines.
That should come as no surprise to New Yorkers accustomed to dining with their dogs on outdoor patios, going on long rambles through Central Park and letting Fido socialize at the Madison Square Park dog run while munching on a treat from nearby Shake Shack -- all mentioned by msnbc.com as reasons why New York is tops for dogs.
San Diego, with its off-leash beaches, also made the list, as did Chicago, where the posh pet boutiques draw shoppers such as Oprah Winfrey.
Smaller cities rated highly, too -- like Alexandria, Va., with its regular Yappy Hours (which also welcome cats), and the snowy mecca of South Lake Tahoe, Calif.
Rounding out the top 10 are Boston; Los Angeles; Portland, Ore.; San Francisco and Seattle.
