In a sense, Newport, Rhode Island has gone to the dogs. Vacations at the beachfront resort that's one of the the country's oldest cities, long home to America's most aristocratic families, can include man's best friend. Tour the fabled mansions of the Gilded Age, swim, hike or sunbathe on the sandy beaches. Attractions such as the Naval War College and the International Tennis Hall of Fame are available in Newport, which also provides a busy waterfront filled with restaurants and shops to explore. Your four-legged family members don't have to stay at home in this pet-friendly area.
