Maine Unleashed: 101 Off-Leash Walks in Maine | |
| • Linn Caroleo → Creative Consulting, Inc ( 282008 | ||
Maine Unleashed is a compilation of romps for dogs and their owners that gives the opportunity for off-lead gallops in solitary forested settings that are the antithesis of dog parks. This book tempts the urban dog walker to step off the sidewalk and into nature. To those who vacation in Maine with their pet, it gives opportunities far beyond a restricted walk around the hotel parking lot. Throw Fido in the car, grab a picnic lunch, and head for one of several coastal gems that meander through salt marshes or vistas to the ocean. Caroleo leads us on dog walks through enchanted forest loops that culminate in gushing waterfalls and mossy covered rocks around which gurgling brooks flow. There are no bones about it—these places will be revered by any dog who loves to settle into a pool of cool water and come out shaking! |
