To be fair, we are talking cities, not towns here, so not every town in New Jersey qualifies, but somehow I think our state should have done better on this one.

There is no question that the Garden State loves dogs. As a matter of fact, at Bring Fido, we found 2 dozen dog-friendly beaches right here in New Jersey.
