The Best Cities for Dogs

Men's Health magazine published a fabulous article for anyone looking to relocate to a dog friendlier city. I was very excited to see one of my favorite places I want to move someday top the list. Colorado Springs, Co. was number one and Denver, Co. made number six.

Denver's ranking may surprise a lot of people since Denver has a bad rap as far as breed specific legislation. It has made me think twice about moving there. A few years ago Colorado legislators passed a law making it impossible for cities to ban breeds. The Denver City Council had to revoke its ban as well as a few other cities. The ASPCA has a lot of great information on this if you are interested in learning more about Breed Specific legislation and alternative solutions for dealing with irresponsible dog owners.
