From CorgiCon to Pug Sunday to Oodles of Doodles… it’s “Year of the Dog” according to the Chinese Zodiac calendar. So we thought it was a great excuse to wrassle up a list of some of SF’s biggest and most adorable dog meetup groups so we can wub our pups.

(but really… doesn’t it feel like EVERY year is  “Year of the Dog” in San Francisco?”)
