Dog Friendly
Directory is Running with the Big Dogs Knoxville,
TN - August 13, 2004 - In response to an ever-increasing trend in pet-friendly
travel, the travel industry has moved towards not only accepting pets, but catering
to them. However, one rather large group has been left out - the big dogs. Recently
launched, Dog Friendly Directory (http://www.dogfriendlydirectory.com)
is helping frustrated big-dog owners find quality lodging that will be happy to
make room for their dogs of stature. "Although
certainly not a petite dog, Buddy travels well and loves to get out of the house
and on the road," states Buddy's owner, Patrick Kinsell. "He's a 7-year
old Bouvier and sleeps all day; he's better trained than our kids! Unfortunately,
even when we find a pet-friendly hotel, they usually only accept small dogs." Although
they may not be perfectly suited to meandering through a china shop, most big
dogs are calm, well-mannered pets that treat their travel destinations like a
second home. "We've
been accepting large dogs for years and we've never had any problems with any
of our four-legged guests," states Judi Schenck, owner of the Jewel of the
Smokies cabin in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. "Most of our guests have had a
difficult time finding a vacation destination that will accept large dogs, and
they are grateful to have finally found us." With
each listing on Dog Friendly Directory.com there are clear icons denoting whether
or not the property will accept dogs over forty pounds. A big-dog area of the
Web site that will cater to the needs and concerns of this not-so-small group
is currently in the works and will be launched shortly. About
