The American Dog Reports

On a recent visit to the Hyatt's beautiful resort in Scotts ­dale we discovered the san ­dy beach in their spectacular water playground and just knew that we had to shoot our fall "cover" there; the beach, sunken treasure, cute dog, per ­fect! This issue is all about the boom ­ing pet industry and what better way to showcase the golden opportunities waiting than at an incredibly gorgeous vacation destination like the Hyatt, which also happens to be   pet-friendly!

Besides, who can resist a treasure chest filled with delicious food, yummy treats, tasty bones and gold coins, on a sandy beach with the most captivating little dog named Uno waiting to collect his share of the loot?

Uno is one lucky, precocious pooch and has the privilege of being the pet am ­bassador for the Hyatt's 4Paws Pet Pro ­gram. Talk about the perfect job with perks! His daddy, Michael Stephens, also just happens to be the first-rate general manager for this fine property, and Uno will hitch a ride to work with Michael everyday. This is one dog who loves his job and guests at the hotel are thrilled to meet him!

The pet industry is smoking-hot and many luxurious hotels around the world have now included pet-friendly rooms that will accommodate four-legged guests, and the Hyatt being a world-class destination is no exception. The Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort and Spa at Gainey Ranch sits on 27 acres and has 493 rooms including 18 unbe ­lievable casitas that offer two-and-four bedroom units with living areas, wet bars, fireplaces, and outdoor Jacuzzis. Their water playground is comprised of 10 separate pools with 28 fountains, 47 waterfalls, a sandy beach, water slide, cold plunge pools, and the best fea ­ture - two poolside bars complete with   handsome pool boys and impeccable customer service! There is also golf, tennis, a fitness center, and Spa Avania that will pamper you endlessly! There is a wonderful selection of unique dining experiences, and if you are a wine connoisseur then don't miss the enticing se ­lection of wines from around the world.

if you're planning a vacation this fall to Arizona make sure you put The Hyatt Regency Resort and Spa in Scottsdale on your "to ­do" list of places to stay and play!
