You thought your little town in Rhode Island is dog friendly? think again. Here are the world’s top 5 dog friendly cities. So next time you plan your trip with fido, you should consider these:

 

Number 5: Portland, Oregon.

Portland is considered one of the US’s best cities for dogs, and it features the most dog parks per capita of any U.S. city.

Number 4: Rome, Italy

Think it’s wrong to keep Fido on a leash? In the Eternal City, dogs are allowed to frolic in public fountains and scamper freely amid outdoor ruins.

Number 3:  Berlin, Germany

Did you know? in  Berlin’s Central Station, you can buy your dog a half-price ticket to accompany you throughout the entire country.

Number 2:  New York, New York

If you’re thinking crowded New York wouldn’t be a place for a pooch traveler, think again!

With walking being the rule of thumb, there are plenty of places geared toward you and your pooch. Plenty!

And number 1 in the most dog friendly cities in the world – Paris, France.

The best place to be a dog is, of course, the City of Light, where beloved chiens are not only allowed in bistros; they’re also given their own personal chairs. Très civilized, if we do say so ourselves.
