If your beloved pup is a walkies fan then you know that she loves to trot around the block, along the sidewalk near the park, and just about anywhere else where some sunshine and sniffable moments may be fully savored.
But the opportunity to pursue walkies in a scenic place that is usually off-limits to pooches, except for the occasional weekend day, only makes this everyday pup-and-person pastime more enticing.
South Coast Botanic Garden, the 87-acre spread that is full of sublime and sniffable things, is not open to the canine contingent most days of the year. But when "Dog Walking Hours" return to the Palos Verdes Peninsula destination — and they will again March 30 — leashed Lassies are invited to bask in the garden's many pretty pathways and leafy pockets.
