Ana Elvir never knew how much she could love a dog until she met Teddy. The 6-and-a-half-pound Maltese is her partner in crime and social media. Together, they are the stars of @tourwithteddy, Elvir’s travel blog where she shares the duo’s favorite Magic City outings. For his part, Teddy has been named Fort Lauderdale’s Very Inquisitive Pup, the Chief Canine Officer for Brightline, the host of several “yappy hours,” and is the face of pet-friendly campaigns for many hotels and restaurants. “Teddy has such a cute personality,” Elvir says. “He creates so many new friendships for me; I never knew I could have so many new friends with a dog.” Looking to make a foray with your furry friend? Here are a few of Elvir and Teddy’s go-to Miami spots.
“The Loews in Coral Gables and Miami Beach is over-the-top pet-friendly. They give you the dog bed, the dog bowls, a little poop bag. They also have dog room service that Their executive chef created.”
“The Intercontinental Miami does a ‘yappy hour’ every Wednesday. When they first started it, Teddy was their official host and then we started getting all the dogs to come to that area and check it out. They are so pet-friendly that they act like your dog is a celebrity there.”
“The Brightline is very pet-friendly. As the Chief Canine Officer for the train, Teddy got to go on Brightline for so many free rides and show people around. I honestly think that’s such a fun way to travel, especially if people don’t want to get in their car. It’s so easy to take your dog and it’s such a fun experience.”
“Pura Vida usually gives teddy a dog bowl for water. They even have dog macaroons. At Cielito artisan pops, you and your dog can have ice cream together.”
“Aventura Mall is so pet-friendly. They allow your dog inside anywhere. You can even go to the restaurants, which normally have a lot of outdoor seating so you don’t have to be without your dog. A lot of them have dog bowls, and it feels like your dog is family.”
“We are big supporters of Paw Patrol Animal Rescue. I absolutely love them because they will continue taking dogs in even when they don’t have the funds. They’re constantly finding fosters. They will make sure these dogs are not just given to anybody [and] that the next home is going to be the dog’s forever home.”
