When a friend of mine went to Austria last May, I was amazed that he was able to take Oscar, his Jack Russell terrier, right on the plane with him. Many devoted pet owners would like to travel with their dogs, but think that it’s just too difficult.

This week’s CoolTool site makes finding these are pet-friendly places easy: http://www.learnthenet.com/english/features/cooltool.htm
