Chicago is an urban environment that is easily accessible to wide open spaces, but with more than one million pooches in the metro area, the Windy City’s pups can be found everywhere in the city limits, from pub patios to in horse-drawn carriages. While the stockyards may not be what they once were dogs, of course, love any place that is famous for big slabs of meat. An updated, second edition of The Dog Lover’s Companion to Chicago, covering new dog parks and city regulations, was published in January 2007. |
