“It was one of those “Yahoo” moments that I found out the way to bring my little Jo to Yosemite. It was rewarding being in Yosemite with my fur baby overlooking Half Dome. Turns out, Jo prefers mountains over beaches. He has such a great time on top of Glacier Point and Lower Yosemite Fall.”

–Thao Pham, San Francisco
