Actually, Dogtrekker.com is a year old today (7 dog-years according to a popular wives’ tail). We officially launched our beta site on April Fools Day, 2011, to the applause of 11 DogTrekker contributors and their 14 dogs; and thanks to all of you, have grown at an incredible rate ever since.

DogTrekker Study Featured in USA Today

USA Today recently cited a new DogTrekker survey that uncovered many of the frustrations we as DogTrekkers have experienced all too often. Eight out of 10 of those leisure travelers surveyed found hotel policies and amenities important when selecting accomodations, almost half are not pleased with the poor selection of truly pet-friendly hotels and a third are confused over pet policies. These results send a huge message to the travel industry, as our influence as dog-travelers continues to increase.

Dogs at Work

In today's world, dogs are more than just best friends — frequently, they're also superb coworkers. The U.S. Postal Service® celebrates the enduring partnership between dogs and people with the Dogs at Work issuance. This set of four 65 cent stamps depicts four hard-working canines: a guide dog assisting a woman who is blind, a tracking dog on the trail of a scent, a therapy dog visiting an elderly woman in her home, and a search and rescue dog standing in a field, ready to tackle the next assignment.
