No one would blame you for expecting that the nation's capital is all about restricted spaces, tight security, and historical museums. In actual fact, Washington D.C. is quite the o-paw-site! D.C. is one of the dog-friendliest cities across the nation.

To dog owners, the place is like dog-heaven. Some say that the presence of pricey dog-friendly amenities in D.C. are a representation of the wealth in the state.
