FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., May 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- If your dog gives you
a long face and puppy eyes every time you pack your suitcase to
leave town, consider bringing them along on your next Arizona adventure. USA Today has named Flagstaff the "best city for a dog-friendly
vacation" after a careful analysis of vacation spots around the
country.

dogs through the historic downtown along Route 66, relaxing on
patios with dogs curled under their chairs or walking dogs through
the forest.

number of dog-friendly lodging accommodations, restaurants, bars
and trails.
