Does your dog like hunting for mysterious species that only exist in folklore? Your dog would love living in the North Granville part of town, just minutes from Cobble Mountain Reservoir where you might catch a sighting of Bigfoot! Locals often swap stories of different sightings of this elusive mythical creature in the area around the reservoir. Even if you don't see Bigfoot, it's a beautiful area to hike with your dog! Afterwards, you can head into town to visit the Granville Country Store. You can find all kinds of antiquities and novelty items in the store, including their infamous cellar-aged cheese.

Does your dog like to hang out at the local joint to get pets and earn treats from the whole neighborhood? Then The Summer House in the East Granville part of town is definitely going to be his local hangout. The Summer House is primarily an ice cream shop that sells classic flavors of the frozen dessert like Moose Tracks and Rainbow Sherbet. They also have special flavors like Triple Chocolate Bliss and Milky Way. If you're in the mood for savory eats, then you can order burgers, wraps, and sandwiches from the regular menu. Fido can hang out for all the excitement with you!

Does your dog like to herd other animals? If your dog thinks he's a cattle herder, then you can take him Gran-Val Scoop to see the animals on the farm at this ice cream shop that has been in Granville since 1903! The Gran-Val Scoop has a petting zoo where your children, both four-legged and two, can see all the farm animals. They have cows, donkeys, llamas, alpacas, horses, goats, and more! You can also meet the farm dog, Angie. Angie is a Labrador Retriever who watches over all the animals at the historic Gran-Val, and she'll love your dog too!

Does your dog love to pitch a tent and go camping? If your pup is at home in the wilderness, then the 4,415-acre Tolland State Forest is the spot for him. The forest has 92 camping sites with easy access to boating, fishing, hiking trails, and scenic picnic areas. The Otis Reservoir lake has plenty of bass and trout for the anglers and their dogs to fish out. Hunters can find turkey, bears, and deer during their respective seasons. Strap on Fido's leash and grab your hiking boots!
