And if you’re looking for some outdoor fun with your four-legged friend, a new Web site finds dog-friendly parks in several cities. Just visit FidoFactor.com. The site is still growing, so if you find a place in your neighborhood and want to share it with the rest of us, just click “add a location” and a dollar will be donated to the San Francisco SPCA. The site also contains tips for dog owners, along with photos of favorite pets.
