Life is anything but ruff in the Mile High City - Denver was just ranked the most dog-friendly city in the U.S.

Especially when you re at home with your furry friend 24/7 (like during the COVID-19 lockdown), dogs become more than best friends - to many dog owners, they re family.
A new study conducted by Zillow and Rover found that about 24% of dog owners in the United States moved since March 2020 and another 62% would consider moving to a new home to better accommodate their dog.
