COMING AND GOING

Take Bowser to Boston

Leashed dogs are welcome on the subways of Boston during non-peak hours, and your pooch might enjoy a whale-watching cruise or the 2 1/2 -mile Freedom Trail that meanders past parks and 16 historic sites.

That's the advice of DogFriendly.com , a Web site devoted to vacationing with canines, which this year put Boston at the top of its list of the top 10 dog-friendly vacation destinations in North America. City rankings are determined by researchers who consider the quantity and quality of dog-friendly accommodations, transportation, attractions and more.

The next four cities on the list: Vancouver, New York, San Francisco and Austin . See the full list and details at the site.
