Dog Pics - Traveling and Relaxing!

Naturally, being a Pet-Friendly Travel website, we love to see photos of dogs traveling, vacationing, or relaxing (and dreaming of being on vacation!). Here's our collection of dog pics showing pooches who are experts at enjoying life to the fullest.

"Here is Baillie on her pink scooter after taking a swim in Long Island Sound (Madison Ct.). Baillie is a 9 year old Pekingese who loves to swim in any kind of water." - Sandie N.	"Recently we took Maxi on a trip to Rhode Island (Providence and Newport) and we took his stroller along too. We were able to visit department stores and ate at outdoor restaurants. We even received comment from the Manager from the Providence Place that this is the latest trend and they have been seeing a lot of doggy strollers in the store." - Medina and Kent M.

"Thanks to the Pet Friendly website, my husband and I have been able find places throughout Canada that will allow us to bring our two dogs along on our vacation. Both boys are well socialized and well travelled because of this. I thought I would share a couple of photos of our dogs while we were on vacation, and the day we arrived home. - Benson, CH Banda's At Your Beck And Call, CGN, is our 2.5 yr old brindle Mastiff. - Ernie is our 5 yr old CorgiX that we adopted through a rescue.

"Peppi is a well travelled 8+ yrs young poodle/malamute x who loves car rides, snow and his sister Anna (who is a 2+ yrs young calico), who loves Peppi's basket, sleeping under Grandma's chair and sunning herself in the back yard.
