At least online, Knoxville, TN, has gone to the dogs.<\/span><\/p>

Based on research by LawnStarter, Knoxville collars the No. 1 ranking for web-driven interest in Buddy, Bella and other four-legged friends.<\/span><\/p>

For our ranking, we reviewed Google search activity from June 2013 to June 2018 for the term \u201cdogs.\u201d Fetching a Google Trends score of 91, Knoxville emerged as the U.S. region with the most \u201cdogs\u201d search activity on Google during the five-year period. Data was available for 210 metro areas.<\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span>Google Trends analyzes a percentage of all searches for a term such as \u201cdogs\u201d within the same time and location parameters, and then assigns a search score (1 through 100) to a geographic area. For 2013 to 2018, Knoxville notched the highest score on the Google Trends scale \u2014 91 \u2014 for the term \u201cdogs.\u201d On the Google scale, a score of 100 signals the maximum search interest for a particular period and place.<\/span><\/p>

Why is Knoxville, home to the University of Tennessee, so fixated on dogs?<\/span><\/p>

\u201cKnoxville is a very pet-friendly community, and that trend is growing,\u201d says Teresa Underwood, development and marketing manager at the <\/span>Humane Society of the Tennessee Valley<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>

In fact, the City of Knoxville and Knox County have <\/span>teamed up with Knoxville-based pet products maker PetSafe<\/span><\/a> to make Knoxville the most pet-friendly community in the U.S.<\/span><\/p>

Toward that goal, Knoxville offers seven dog parks across the city that bear the PetSafe brand name. The city\u2019s newest dog park encompasses nearly 4 acres at Concord Park.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cDogs and their owners will love the water fountains for pets (and ones for their owners), a dock with access to the river and even a dog shower,\u201d the <\/span>Visit Knoxville website<\/span><\/a> says of the latest addition to the city\u2019s dog parks.<\/span><\/p>

Knoxville\u2019s first dog park debuted in 2009.<\/span><\/p>

Aside from establishing dog parks, city officials are working to increase the number of downtown restaurants that allow dogs in outdoor dining areas. <\/span>BringFido.com counts 148 dog-friendly restaurants<\/span><\/a> in Knoxville.<\/span><\/p>

As a testament to Knoxville\u2019s love of pooches, personal finance website ValuePenguin in 2017 <\/span>ranked Knoxville<\/span><\/a> the eighth best big city in the U.S. for dog owners. By comparison, both Nashville, TN, and Memphis, TN, were kind of in the doghouse on ValuePenguin\u2019s list \u2013 they ranked 24th and 55th, respectively.<\/span><\/p>

With Knoxville leading the pack, here are the 12 cities that deserve doggie treats for their interest in (and presumed love of) pups.<\/span><\/p>
