Inns where your dog is as welcome as you are
July 8th, 2007
Carolyn and Frank Bistrian and their five dogs share a 22-acre farm in East Hampton. Guest dogs are always welcome.

Humans haven’t cornered the market on reality TV.
Leading the pack is Animal Planet’s “Animal Precinct,” sort of a “Cops” for society’s dog-fighting, cat-kicking underbelly. That same channel is also home to “Emergency Vets,” among them the surfer-dudish Kevin Fitzgerald, a former bouncer who toured with the Rolling Stones.
And now there’s the newest addition to the real people, real critters pantheon: “Adventures in Doggie Daycare,” which debuts Saturday at 9 p.m. on cable’s WE TV channel.
