San Diego has really gone to the dogs. Of all the places I’ve ever seen (including New York, which thinks it’s tops in everything), it’s the dog-friendliest. To the point that they rule.
As it should be.
How did I arrive at this conclusion? Well, here’s one of the city’s choicest spots, Coronado Beach. Nice, eh? With scenery like this, and near-perfect weather all year long, you don’t need to be a rocket scientist to see why SD is known as “America’s Finest City.”

Here’s that same spot, populated by a mere fraction of the pampered pooches I’ve seen around the place. Seems you can’t wave a Pup-Peroni around without running into a snout. And I’m more than fine with that.
