No, we are going to count down the 10 best dog friendly cities in the United States of America – A Boston terriers opinion!

#4 Friday Harbor, Washington (San Juan Island)

Feels like its a world away but only a few hours from Seattle or Vancouver. Do some shopping downtown, every shop has dog treats, and relax on the beach.
