Want to take your best buddy with you the next time you travel? Check out BringFido, a site dedicated to finding pet-friendly hotels.

Just find your state (the site is United States only at this time) and you'll be taken to hotels that don't mind Skippy the Drool Meister coming for a little stay. You can even book the hotel you decide on from within the BringFido site; they've also recently added a searchable database of doggy "events", like puppy parades, dog nights, play parks, etc. — Wendy Boswell
