I never used to be a dog person, mainly just because my family didn't own a pup while I was growing up. And now, it's hard to believe that I was ever not a dog lover. My family adopted a puppy about two years ago and she has changed my perspective on dogs and my love for these amazing animals.
So let's take a look at 12 of the cutest dogs in Cleveland and explore their favorite spots of the city. What's your dog's favorite place in Cleveland?
1. Meet Bear
Bear, better known as Bear Baby, is a 2-year-old Jack-A-Bee and knows over 10 tricks including, "roll over", "play dead", "high five", and "up turn". Her favorite activity is hiking the many trails and creeks at the local Cleveland Metroparks, exploring Edgewater Park, and of course, going to Starbucks for pupachinos.
2. Meet Murphy
Murphy and Sullivan are black lab "brothers from another mother" who love adventuring Red Wagon Farm.
S and M had some fun down on the farm yesterday!🌽☀️ It was such a beautiful day for some hay bale and corn stalk exploring 😊☀️🌽 #dogsofcle #ohiodogs

Stewart is a Boxer Pit who was born, rescued, and being raised in Cleveland. Stewart went for a quick walk the other day because of the hot temperatures and was able to snap this great picture in Lakewood Park. Do you see Cleveland's skyline in the background?

5. Meet Dewars
Dewars is a Mini Golden Doodle who loves the Indians. Did you know that Progressive Field used to hold a PuppyPalooza event where fans can bring their dogs to the park to bark on the Tribe to win? Current dog-friendly games in the city are hosted every year at the Lake County Captains and Lake Erie Monsters. So tell your pup to keep their ears perked for a dog-friendly game to attend!
