On the Road Again With Man's Best Friend : A Selective Guide to the Southwest's Bed and Breakfasts, Inns, Hotels and Resorts That Welcome You and Your Dog

On the Road Again with Man's Best Friend is the critically acclaimed collection of regional travel guides that offer detailed reviews of the best bed and breakfasts, inns, hotels, and resorts that welcome dogs, as well as fun things to do with them once you arrive. The Habgoods ask a number of questions and perform extensive research before even considering a lodging for inclusion. They then head out on the road to visit one. Their insiders perspective on each establishment is unmatched, as is their ability to accurately assess the attitude of the staff toward people who travel with their dogs. As a result, readers learn about the best rooms and amenities, the cuisine (for both canines and people), and any intriguing activities on the premises or in the area. The Habgoods dont depend on paw, diamond, or star ratings. Instead, travelers form their own opinions after reading the detailed two-page descriptions. The Habgoods never accept fees for inclusion into their books, ensuring their assessments remain independent and based on merit. Their reviews are so personal and detailed that the Los Angeles Times commented that "these aren't just books for dog owners, but any traveler." Moreover, Pamela Brandt of the New York Daily News feels that, "the authors have a far more appealing approach than other animal-friendly accommodation guides: full and very inviting descriptions instead of the usual name/address lists."
