Survival can often depend on the company you keep. If those closest to you are loyal, industrious and caring, your chances of fending off life’s many challenges increase tenfold. With that in mind, it’s clear that there are few better companions in this world than those whom we in the scientific community call Canis Familiaris. Here is a list of dog-friendly restaurants, parks and businesses that allow you to spend time with your drool-happy companion while taking care of life’s other necessities. Most of the info from this section was obtained via abqdog.com. For more canine-related inquiries, check them out online.
