The hound pound influence is strong in Northern Ireland and growing rapidly stronger with more businesses opening their doors to customers and their dogs than ever before.
Our dog dedicated site, DogsLive has sniffed out an incredible 185 dog friendly places to eat, drink, relax and socialise, not only where dogs are welcome, but where they are accommodated inside with their people.
There are dozens more where pets are allowed on the premises but must remain outdoors, albeit under cover.
