"One of the best books I've seen on dogs and hiking - perfect to take with you when you are traveling. Definitely a must-have book." -Jon Patch, host of the nationally syndicated radio show, TALKIN' PETS

As an active dog owner you know the scenario. You read about a pristine trail enthusiastically described in a guidebook and, with great anticipation, you head there only to discover: NO DOGS ALLOWED.

When we travel, we want our dogs with us. To hike with our dogs we can always go to a remote forest, but we want to see the continent's natural wonders as well. Our new book, THE CANINE HIKER'S BIBLE, seeks not only to identify those sensational trails open to canine hikers but to find dog-friendly walks near those where dogs are banned in North America's most popular destinations. Inside you will find:

Detailed descriptions of more than 225 parks in or near the most popular vacation destinations in the United States and Canada - all written with your best friend in mind

Rules for dogs in 100 most-visited national lands in the United States

Rules for dogs in the most prominent parks of 35 major cities - and a nearby wilderness area to hikewith your dog

Rules for dogs at 1300 beaches in 500+ beach towns in the United States and Canada

5 towns your dog hiker will love

And much more, including dogs on long-distance trails; outfitting your dog for a hike; canine hiking in the desert; how to form a canine hiking club...

More praise for the Canine Hiker's Bible:

"The Canine Hiker's Bible is an excellent and "canine companion friendly" guidebook to more than 225 dog-friendly parks and trails in the United States and Canada. Many trails presented in popular guidebooks are 'no dogs allowed.' The Canine Hiker's Bible is packed from cover to cover with black-and-white photographs, descriptive information, rules and regulations for dogs in 102 of the most-visited national lands in the United States, practical tips for caring for a dog while hiking in high altitudes or desert conditions, and so much more. The Canine Hiker's Bible is very highly recommended for nature and wilderness enthusiasts who would welcome the accompaniment of their canine companion." - The Midwest Book Review's "Reviewer's Choice."

"The author endorses responsible and safe hiking and offers great advice on the subject but this book's greatest asset is the guide to parks where canines are permitted. These range from well-known places like Yosemite National Park to dog-walking haunts in big cities..." - Steve Dale, host of the nationally syndicated radio show, MY PET WORLD

"I particularly like the extensive section on dog friendly (or not so friendly if the case may be) beaches. Since we all know rules can change daily, it also provides contact information for all beaches, parks, cities, and towns. This book is obviously most appropriate for dog lovers but also manages to pack in a lot of information about parks and the cities he profiles. It's a great research tool for dog lovers." - Kathleen Ganster, TRAVELLADY MAGAZINE

"A terrific practical guide for anybody planning to explore natural areas in North America with their canine buddy. This book is perfect for those who fear arriving at their destination only to find a big 'No Dogs' sign and lots of unsympathetic looking people." - Christine Adkins, MODERN DOG MAGAZINE

"The CANINE HIKER'S BIBLE lives up to its title. It is well written, well illustrated, and a must for anyone who enjoys hiking with a dog." - Patricia Hoffman, DOG WRITER'S ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA
