Portland is the largest city in the State of Oregon, and at the same time, its most environment-friendly one as well. As a result, there are many open spaces and parks available for you and your favorite doggie to spend time together in. However, after a long day of jogging in the park and playing either fetch or frisbee, you will end up being hungry, and as a result, you will be looking for something to eat. However, it would be very unfair if you can eat while leaving your dog outside the restaurant, for anything can happen if you are not aware. Here are some of the top dog-friendly restaurants in Portland. So, don’t wait any longer, go to one of these and make the most of your time with your best friend!
