"Doghiker" book cover

What is there to do? How about a hike with the dog? Our next guest has written a comprehensive guidebook for dog owners that includes seventy-seven great hikes from the Adirondacks through the Catskills.

More than a guidebook showing readers great places to hike with their canine companions in upstate New York, "Doghiker" is a dog owner’s operating manual and tool kit.

A lifelong dog owner, Alan Via makes a strong case for responsible ownership and offers guidance on selecting a canine hiking companion, training, safety, appropriate gear, canine first aid, and keeping your dog fit and healthy.

Joe talks to people on the radio for a living. In addition to countless impressive human "gets" - he has talked to a lot of Muppets. Joe grew up in Philadelphia, has been on the area airwaves for more than 25 years and currently lives in Washington County, NY with his wife, Kelly, and their dog, Brady. And yes, he reads every single book.
